Description
Aquarium plant from tissue culture in closed cup.
Taxiphyllum barbieri from South-East Asia is a hardy plant which makes few demands on water or light. The moss becomes 3-10 cm thick and grows willingly on any surface, so it is ideal for decorating stones and tree roots or concealing installations in the aquarium. Attach the plant with a piece of fishing line or cotton thread until it has gained a hold on the décor. If its growth becomes too luxuriant, it can be pruned with scissors. In breeding aquariums, Taxiphyllum barbieri is a wonderful hiding place for young fish or shrimp.
