The robust, insensitive Taxiphyllum barbieri is often called Java m oss, even though it replaced the "real" Java moss Vesicularia dubyana in the hobby about 40 years ago. Sporadically you can see V. dubyana in the trade again today, it is also called Java moss, but also Singapore moss. Taxiphyllum barbieri still grows relatively well under low light or in the shade of larger aquatic plants.
Clumps of Java moss look great in the foreground, but especially on root wood and rocks, they bring natural flair to any aquarium.
Regular trimming ensures dense, bushy growth for Taxiphyllum barbieri. The moss can be easily propagated by division, cut fronds can be easily tied on or glued to dry substrates with super glue.
Mosses from InVitro culture are basically always free of viruses, bacteria and fungi due to their cultivation, and they also do not contain any algae or unwanted co-inhabitants such as snails or parasites. The nutrient gel is rinsed off under running water, and the moss is ready for use.
Expert Tip: With the NatureHolic plant glue stick this plant gently and easily on stones, roots and decoration . Made in Germany, the adhesive does not pollute the water and has no negative impact on the stock.
