Description

With the name "Grande", we cultivate a larger sized variant of Fissidens fontanus. It is as easy to grow as the smaller Fissidens fontanus "Phoenix moss" and apparently a little more vigorous. The soft, feather-like, medium to dark green shoots have 5-7 mm long leaves with a spacing of about 1,5 mm. Fissidens fontanus "Grande" forms lush, decorative cushions that have a somewhat curly appearance due to the curved leaves.

As well as other mosses, Fissidens fontanus "Grande" is best placed on wood, rock or moss pads by tying or gluing. It develops new shoots from the base where the moss is attached to the ground. All too large cushions should be reduced by trimming or careful plucking, otherwise they will eventually detach themselves. This Fissidens is not demanding and also grows in low light tanks, however it does best with good macro- and micronutrient supply. It also grows well with temperatures below 20 °C.

Fissidens fontanus "Grande" is a recommendable aquatic moss for the hardscape that also looks well in large tanks. With its wide temperature tolerance, it is suited for tropical as well as cold water tanks.

Good quality. Comes on a particleboard plate. Mine is under strong and medium lighting and can be tied on like any other moss. New shoots are forming.

Pad 5x5 cm GrowCap

Gute Qualität. Kommt auf einer Pressspanplatte. Steht bei mir unter starker und mittlerer Beleuchtung und kann wie jedes andere Moos aufgebunden werden. Es bilden sich neue Triebe. Bei mir, das Moos was am anfälligsten für Fadenalgen ist.

The pad had such a dense cushion that another moss was able to hide in it. It looks great and I had to take out a portion because the moss was already so long and dense.

Dickes Polster im Pad

Das Pad hatte ein so dichtes Polster, dass sich darin ein anderes Moos verstecken konnte. Es sieht toll aus und ich musste eine Portion entnehmen weil das Moos schon so lang und dicht war.

Auf den Fotos wirkt es viel kleiner, aber es ist wirklich grande.
