Product details

The Taxiphyllum alternans, commonly known as Taiwan Moss, is a popular moss species in aquascaping due to its vibrant green color and dense, soft growth. It is versatile and can be attached to rocks, driftwood, or used as a carpeting plant to create a natural, textured look. Grown in-vitro, this moss arrives pest-free, algae-free, and ready for immediate introduction to your aquarium.

Key Features:

Dense, Soft Growth: Taiwan Moss has fine, delicate fronds that grow densely, making it ideal for creating lush greenery in aquascapes.
Versatile Use: It can be attached to hardscapes like rocks and driftwood, or used as a carpeting plant to add texture and visual interest to both small and large aquariums.
In-Vitro Cultivation: Grown in sterile conditions, this moss is free from snails, algae, and harmful pathogens, ensuring a clean and healthy start for your aquarium.
Low-Maintenance: Taiwan Moss thrives in a range of conditions and requires minimal care, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced aquarists.

Care Requirements:

Lighting: Taiwan Moss does well in low to medium lighting conditions, making it an excellent choice for low-tech setups. However, higher lighting can promote faster, denser growth.
CO2: While not required, CO2 supplementation can enhance growth and promote more vibrant coloration, especially in high-tech aquariums.
Water Parameters: This moss is adaptable to a variety of water conditions, thriving in slightly acidic to neutral water with a pH range of 6.0-7.5 and temperatures between 15-28°C.
Trimming: Regular trimming helps keep the moss compact and encourages denser growth. Trimmed sections can be reattached to hardscapes or allowed to grow in other areas.

Planting Tips:

Rinse the moss thoroughly to remove the nutrient gel before attaching it to rocks, driftwood, or other hardscapes.
Use thread or fishing line to securely tie the moss to your hardscape until it naturally attaches and spreads over time.
Provide low to medium lighting and occasional trimming to maintain its lush, bushy appearance.
