Taxiphyllum Sp. 'Creeping Moss' Invitro

Taxiphyllum sp. 'Creeping Moss' In-Vitro Aquarium Plant - Low-Growing Moss for Natural Carpet Effects

Taxiphyllum sp. 'Creeping Moss' is a beautiful, slow-growing moss variety perfect for aquascapers looking to create a lush, forest-floor look in their freshwater tanks. Unlike many other mosses, 'Creeping Moss' grows horizontally rather than vertically, making it an excellent choice for creating dense carpets, wrapping around hardscape, or achieving a natural mossy effect on driftwood and rocks. Grown in in-vitro (tissue culture) conditions, this moss arrives completely free from snails, algae, and contaminants, ensuring a clean and healthy start in your aquarium. Its fine, feathery texture also provides excellent shelter for shrimp and fry.
