Cinnebuns Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 I got this from chewy. I originally thought it would look different but now I see it would he perfect for gluing some moss or something on. I already have several marimo moss balls. Would that work here or should I buy a different plant? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minanora Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 I think that would look cool with weeping moss. There are sooooo many different kinds of moss and they're all lovely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnebuns Posted January 4, 2022 Author Share Posted January 4, 2022 @Minanora that's what overwhelms me lol. I know very little about plants. I assume by its name weeping moss would hang off of it? That would be cool. Is it easy to care for? My green thumb is a little yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For ease; but, it may not "weep" so much but Taxiphyllum alternans 'Taiwan' is a pretty moss that is easy to care for. Christmas Moss is nice but it doesn't take on such a green underside. I also like Taxiphyllum barbieri. I have Christmas Moss in my 75G, but do wish I had gone for the Taxiphyllum family. They're easier to grow and I like their texture more. Certain mosses will weep depending on the water parameters. Softer waters/less nitrates... it depends on the variety. I'm by no means an expert on moss, but there are some very knowledgeable people here that I'm sure will chime in to offer recommendations as well! It also depends on where you're wanting to get your plants from. Some things are easier to find than others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 @Cinnebuns; I can see Java Fern, Java Fern Wendlov, and all species of Anubias growing on several different branches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer V Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 @Cinnebuns what a cool structure! You're inspiring me for my next tank. @Gator love the idea of some anubias on there! A bunch of nana petite would be really cool. @Minanora weeping moss would also be really pretty. If you have any tricks for how to keep it, I'm all ears. I can only seem to grow Christmas moss.

Dancing Matt Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 moss balls may e difficult because of their structure. I am particular to Christmas moss. I have found it easy to grow and it would entangle well with all the "branches". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
