Stoffels Taxiphyllum Flame Moss

Taxiphyllum Flame Moss (Low Tech)

Stoffels Taxiphyllum Flame Moss is a unique and visually striking moss species in aquascaping, known for its upward spiraling, flame-like growth pattern. Its bright green fronds twist upwards, creating an unusual and eye-catching effect in the aquarium. Grown in-vitro, this moss is delivered free from pests, algae, and contaminants, ensuring a clean and healthy start for your aquascape.

Key Features:

• Flame-Like Growth: Flame Moss is named for its upward, twisting growth pattern that resembles the flickering of a flame, adding a dynamic, textured look to aquascapes.
• Low Maintenance: This moss is hardy and adaptable, growing well in a variety of water conditions, making it suitable for beginners and experienced aquascapers alike.
• In-Vitro Cultivation: Grown in sterile conditions, Flame Moss arrives free of snails, algae, and pathogens, providing a clean and safe start for your tank.
• Versatile Use: It can be attached to rocks, driftwood, or even mesh to create vertical accents, or used as a foreground plant for unique layering.

Care Requirements:

• Lighting: Flame Moss thrives in low to medium lighting conditions. Higher lighting can promote faster growth, but the moss will still maintain its signature upward spiral in low light.
• CO2: While Flame Moss can grow well without CO2 supplementation, adding CO2 will enhance growth and make the moss denser and more vibrant.
• Water Parameters: This moss adapts well to a range of water conditions, with an ideal pH range of 6.0-7.5 and temperatures between 18-28°C.
• Trimming: Regular trimming is recommended to control its upward growth and maintain its unique flame-like shape. Trimmed portions can be reattached to other hardscapes.

Planting Tips:

• Rinse the moss thoroughly to remove the nutrient gel before attaching it to rocks, driftwood, or other hardscape elements.
• Use thread or fishing line to secure the moss in place until it naturally attaches over time.
• Ensure good water circulation around the moss to prevent debris buildup and promote healthy growth.
