Taxiphyllum barbieri 'Bogor Mossa' on lava rock

Product description

About the species

Taxiphyllum barbieri from Southeast Asia is a hardy plant that makes few demands on water or light. The moss grows 3-10 cm thick and grows willingly on any surface, so it is ideal for decorating rocks and tree roots or hiding installations in the aquarium.

Secure the plant with a piece of fishing line or cotton thread until it is attached to the decor. If its growth becomes too luxuriant, it can be pruned with scissors. In breeding aquariums, Taxiphyllum barbieri offers a wonderful hiding place for the young fish.
