Epiphytes & Mosses | Aquarium Plants
Epiphyte plants and mosses are some of the most versatile groups in aquascaping, ideal for adding detail, texture, and natural structure to any aquarium. Instead of being planted in substrate, epiphytes grow attached to hardscape such as wood or rock, making them perfect for creative layouts and layered designs. This category includes popular plants such as Anubias, Bucephalandra, and aquatic ferns, alongside a wide range of aquarium mosses. These plants are known for their ease, durability, slow and controlled growth, and ability to thrive in a wide range of conditions. Most epiphytes and mosses perform well under low to moderate lighting and typically do not require CO₂ injection, although they will benefit from stable water conditions. Mosses in particular are excellent for creating soft textures, carpets, and natural hardscape accents, while also providing shelter for shrimp and small fish. Explore our range of epiphyte and moss plants to add depth, detail, and long-lasting structure to your aquascape.
