I need some good description on growing java moss both terestrial and aquaticly. I am getting some tommorow and couldnt be more excited!

Thanks,
Ryan

Hi Ryan,

Basically keep it moist and provide it with light and the moss will do the rest. I grow it aquatically in one of my aquariums. I also grow it terrestrially on moist soil, it just needs to be sprayed with water daily or it will dry out. It also can be helpful to kind of press it into the soil so that there isn't a lot of air between the moss and the soil which would dry it out. You can also train it to grow up dripwalls, waterfalls and backgrounds. A great plant, have fun.
