Java Moss Plant Care - Need to Know

Taking care of aquarium Java Moss consists of making sure this plant has a decent light and some nutrients in the water. Java Moss is considered one of the easiest plants in the aquarium hobby because of how little light it demands. This is an extremely easy plant to take care of but you still wanna do proper research. This is a moss and it’s not like most of the other plants in the hobby.

Java Moss grows the best when it can attach itself to a piece of driftwood. The moss likes to grow into the spores of wood and attach itself that way. When planting Java moss, you should try to put it in a location where I can attach itself to some thing.

Java Moss is a slow growing plant but once it starts to thrive, it will grow faster. It grows slower at first but once it gets used to its scenario it will grow much faster. It’s almost like the plant is getting used to the lighting and takes a little while to start growing.

Java moss can be propagated by just ripping a small piece off of the mother plant. This clump of moss is the new baby plant that you can put somewhere else. It’s a super easy plant to propagate and the babies do very well.

My plants always melt and die. My lights are a bit bright. My pH is usually around 7.6 and I do water changes when the nitrate or nitrite goes above 0 ppm.

i have a few tanks and they all have java moss i grew from 1 batch. my 30 gallon its been in the longest, it grew from a baseball size to a bit bigger than a soccer ball or basket ball. i removed some from the tank and wood it was growing around, but now it looks like its dying off. it was thick and beautiful and green before and now its thin and browning. i didnt remove much at all just some excess and the tanks been running for like 3 years now. im not too sure whats going on. i checked the water and the levels are good. not sure whats going on im gonna wait it out a few weeks and see whats up.

So I don't have drift wood in my tank would it be find to place on rocks or directly on the substrate to create a covered floor look?

Liked and subscribed! Seem like a dude I wanna talk shop with! Good presentation, info, and editing. Looking forward to more.

As a side question; near the end, you give a list of beginner plants. From what I've read and watched, what seems to be THE list... Except one: the ever-argued Gold Pothos. My question: Will Pothos, hanging in a filter, "choke-out" Java Moss and other newbie plants in a slightly understocked tank?

My apologies for being long-winded, and my earnest interest in your channel! Thanks again.

I have a 20g tank myself with some Java Moss, crispus, and some other smaller plants. I was just noticing an accumulation of fish waste and wanted to know if that’s normal? I feel like if I had some shrimp in with my fish they would go nuts and help with that. Any thoughts?
