Description

"Spiky moss" is a strong Taxiphyllum species that is not yet determined to species. Under good lighting it forms densely ramified deep green shoots resembling fir branches. It is a relatively fast grower for a moss.

Taxiphyllum sp. "Peacock" is one of the aquarium mosses that thrive not only under water but also emersed on wet substrate. In the ADA product range, it is available on the Wabi-kusa mats with the size of 9 x 9 cm that are suited for the back walls of the diverse DOOA aquaterrariums.

The hitherto unidentified Taxiphyllum species that is called "spiky moss" in Singapore is in our opinion identical with "peacock moss".

Questions and answers about Taxiphyllum sp. "Spiky Moss"

You have questions about this product? Ask other customer or our support team about this product!

Is it true that this moss doesn't attach itself on its own, and that you always have to fix it somehow? I'd like to put it into the gravel so that it grows upward. I'd really appreciate a reply. Thank you so much in advance

Spiky moss does not attach itself to the surface, or hardly at all. Older stands can therefore detach over time. Planting it into gravel is not recommended; a moss pad should be used here instead. https://www.aquasabi.de/Aquasabi-Keramik-Moos-Pad-mit-Edelstahlgitter
