Java Moss - Vesicularia Dubyana

Foreground Plant that will grow as big as you let it.
Soft to hard water
Temperature 22-28C
pH Range 6.0-7.5
Needs Medium Light
Easy to Care for but will need pruning to control.

Java Moss is a great little plant when you first get it but be careful because it will try to take over and does so very successfully. Having said that I wouldn't be without it.

java moss It has several uses and will attach itself to rocks and driftwood eventually forming a thick carpet of aquarium moss across your substrate. Don't be afraid to prune it as it will always recover.

This is the sort of plant that fry will love to hide in so if your fish breed there is a good chance of a few survivors lurking in the Java Moss.

Heed my warning! As soon as Java Moss touches a piece of driftwood it will colonise it and once it has it is almost impossible to remove.

This is a great plant but treat it with respect and keep it under control. Not suitable for people who feel that their maintenance may be a bit hit and miss.
