ADA Wabi-Kusa Mat - Taxiphyllum barbieri
The ADA Wabi-Kusa Mat featuring Taxiphyllum barbieri (Java Moss) is a versatile, ready-to-use moss mat designed for effortless integration into aquascapes, terrariums, paludariums, and mist walls. Known for its vibrant green colour and dense, thread-like texture, this hardy moss is ideal for aquascapers of all levels and offers a natural aesthetic with minimal effort. It can even be used as a growing base for harvesting healthy moss for future use.
Use in Aquarium
Perfect for attaching to rocks, driftwood, or mesh, Taxiphyllum barbieri can be used to create lush moss walls, tree-like structures, or foreground carpets. It’s suitable for both low-tech and high-tech aquariums and thrives across a wide range of conditions. It’s also shrimp-safe, providing shelter and biofilm for grazing.
How to Maintain
Low-maintenance and adaptable, Java Moss benefits from regular trimming to maintain shape and prevent overgrowth. While it does well under low lighting, moderate light and optional CO₂ injection will encourage denser, faster growth and deeper colouration.
Emersed Growth
When grown emersed, the Wabi-Kusa mat excels in terrariums, paludariums, or mist walls—retaining its lush green tone and fine structure. Just mist regularly and ensure good ambient humidity and light. The mat also makes it easy to harvest healthy moss clumps for propagation or scaping projects, making it a practical and aesthetic tool for any plant lover.
Mat size: 9 x 9 x 1.5cm
