🌿 Java Moss on Pterocarpus Wood (Vesicularia dubyana)
Lush, Dense Green Moss • Ready-Mounted on Natural Pterocarpus Wood • An Instant Aquascape Feature
📋 Java Moss on Pterocarpus Wood is a ready-made aquascape centrepiece: soft, dense, bright-green Java Moss already grown onto a beautifully shaped piece of natural Pterocarpus wood. Just place it in your tank and you get an instant, aged, natural look, with no tying, gluing or waiting for moss to grow in. It adds depth and realism to nature layouts, nano tanks and community aquariums, and it's a favourite in shrimp and breeding tanks, where the moss gives fry and shrimp endless places to graze and hide.
Java Moss is one of the hardiest aquarium plants there is. It grows in low to moderate light, needs no CO2, and thrives in a wide range of conditions. A gentle trim now and then keeps it neat and compact, and the trimmings can be used to start moss on other wood or stone. Want to create your own moss features? It's also available as loose Java Moss.
It's a freshwater plant, perfect for freshwater aquariums and also at home in paludariums.
