HOW TO PLANT MOSS ON LAVA ROCK (JAVA MOSS, CHRISTMAS MOSS)

Here is a simple way to multiply moss to lava rock have for your own aquariums or to sell for a profit due to the aquarium hobby being so expensive. I bought the bag of lava rock for 5 bucks at lowes and you could sell these between 5-10 a rock once the moss attaches and grows out on the lava stone. You can use Christmas moss, java moss or any type of aquatic moss. Java Moss is great for breeders because it is extremely friendly to babies and shrimp. Small babies will find safety and comfort living in the soft moss, while shrimp will appreciate having a place to nest as well.

Java Moss is an extremely durable plant. There are instances where a plant has been forgotten in a bucket for up to two months and when it was found it was still alive and growing. The moss can grow with absolutely no light and it is rare that someone would be unable to keep Java Moss alive. A light green color on the ends of the moss indicates new growth and due to its sturdiness, Java Moss is great for beginners.

Java moss has a rather sprawly and (depending on the lighting levels) spindly growth pattern. If you’re looking for a moss with better texture to spruce up your aquascape, you might prefer Vesicularia montagnei, better known as Christmas moss. The species is appreciated for its denser growth and named after its Christmas tree-shaped fronds.

Although it’s not the easiest aquatic moss to grow in your aquarium, you should still be able to have Christmas moss thrive with the right care. The most important factor to keep in mind is light: unlike its cousin Java moss, this species doesn’t appreciate being grown in low-light set-ups. Medium light will work, but expect slower growth than if you’d be using brighter lamps. With higher amounts of light comes a higher demand for Co2, which means having a Co2 system running is a big plus if you’d like to grow this moss.

Pruning is an important part of keeping any aquatic moss healthy. If left to grow untamed, Christmas moss will become too dense, causing the fronds that aren’t receiving fresh water flow any more to eventually die off. This can result in the plant losing its anchoring to whatever surface it’s attached to, making for a messy look. To prevent all this, simply whip out the pruning scissors a few times a year to give the moss a good trim. Any pieces you remove can be re-attached in other places for an even lusher look to your aquarium.
