Java Moss

DomC · 08-13-2011, 12:02 PM

I just bought some java moss, it's not attached to nothing. What's the best way to get it start growing on drift wood? Do I need to tie it down or just weight it down?

Thanks

Dom

Agreed,fishingline is a great way to tie it off to some driftwood.

Agreed with the people above me. One thing that's proved helpful in the past is to spread the java moss kind of thin when you first tie it down, so that the maximum amount of it is exposed to the water and light - gives it more room to grow over the wood in its own time (which has always looked better to me).
