Taxiphyllum sp. (Flame Moss)
Introduction:
Taxiphyllum sp., commonly known as Flame Moss, is a captivating moss species renowned for its upward-spiraling fronds that mimic the appearance of dancing green flames. This unique growth pattern sets it apart from other mosses, making it a popular choice among aquascaping enthusiasts looking to add vertical texture and movement. Originating from Southeast Asia, Flame Moss is especially striking when attached to driftwood or rocks in artistic layouts. Provided in a tissue culture format, this moss arrives free of pests, algae, and snails—ensuring a pristine, healthy start.
Care Requirements:
Water Parameters:
Temperature: 20–28 °C
pH Range: 5.5–7.5
Water Hardness: 2–12 dGH
Nutrient Requirements:
Grows best with moderate lighting and consistent fertilization. While not CO₂-dependent, CO₂ injection promotes denser, more upright growth. Thrives in well-balanced, nutrient-rich environments.
Tank Setup:
Ideal for tying onto hardscape such as driftwood, stones, or vertical elements. Flame Moss’s upright spirals make it perfect for foreground accents or vertical walls. It prefers gentle water flow to prevent fronds from flattening and to minimize debris accumulation.
Care Tips:
Rinse tissue culture gel completely before placing. Attach securely and allow time for the moss to establish. Trim occasionally to encourage fresh growth and to maintain its signature flame-like form. Avoid strong downward current which may disturb its natural upright pattern.
With its mesmerizing, flame-like growth and vivid green tones, Taxiphyllum sp. 'Flame Moss' brings a dynamic vertical element to planted aquariums. Delivered in tissue culture form, it’s an ideal choice for aquarists seeking a bold, pest-free moss with a unique aesthetic appeal.
