| "I love these! I struggled with attaching Java moss before. It would turn brown and make a mess. But this is still green a few weeks later and seems to be in place well. Thanks!"

Just plop in your tank, and you'll have a mess of anchored Java moss(Vesicularia dubyana) in no time!
These are drifting, low light, and easy care plants. I love them in mine as they are great at sheltering fry and baby shrimplets, plus they do some serious heavy-lifting at biological filtration!
This order is for one clump of Java Moss, securely attached to a Lava rock for stability and anchoring. These will vary in their natural states, but will be about the size of a ping-pong ball, 2" up to three inches.
SUBMERGED-GROWN
Growing requirements:
- 65-80 Degrees Fahrenheit
- Ph 6-8
- Low light intensity.
- Medium Fast growth speed
- Co2 not needed
Java moss is a super plant all around. It requires very little in the way of light, temperature, or ferts. You will notice faster growth in a higher- maintenance aquarium, of course, but it isn't necessary. This is an excellent starter plant for freshwater aquariums.
My mosses love their community tanks, with minimal fertilizer and average light/ room temperatures. I do have snails in tanks, but no duckweed! If you'd absolutely rather not have snail hitchhikers, definitely look up how to do a bleach dip.
You'll receive yours burrito- wrapped and heat sealed in a plastic baggie to retain moisture and oxygen.
Thank you for looking, aqua friends!
