ADA Wabi-Kusa Mat - Vesicularia montagnei ‘Taiwan’
Vesicularia montagnei ‘Taiwan’ is a lush, fast-growing aquatic moss known for its fine texture and soft, cascading growth habit. Slightly more delicate than Christmas moss, Taiwan moss grows in elegant fronds that branch horizontally, giving it a feathery, flowing appearance ideal for natural aquascapes.
Key Features:
-
Soft, Draping Growth: Creates a flowing, natural look when attached to driftwood or stone.
-
Versatile Placement: Suitable for foreground, midground, or vertical surfaces in aquascapes.
-
Shrimp-Safe Shelter: Dense growth offers excellent cover and biofilm grazing for shrimp and fry.
Use in Aquarium:
Taiwan moss is perfect for tying to hardscape elements using thread or glue, where it will quickly attach and spread. It works beautifully in both high-tech and low-tech tanks and is especially effective in nature or Iwagumi-style layouts.
Maintenance:
Trim regularly to maintain shape and prevent overgrowth. It thrives under moderate to high lighting, and CO₂ injection will encourage denser, healthier growth, though it's not required.
Emersed Growth:
In high-humidity terrariums, mist walls, or Wabi-Kusa setups, Taiwan moss retains its bright green colour and fine structure. It’s ideal for creating vertical greenery or for harvesting fresh moss for aquascaping projects.
Mat size: 9 x 9 x 1.5cm
