Plant Profile Common Names: Weeping Moss, Taxiphyllum Ferriei 'Weeping' If your scape is looking a bit static, don't fret! Weeping Moss is highly sought after for its distinct, downward-hanging growth habit that creates a stunning, cascading effect as it matures. We have attached this aquarium moss onto a 3" x 3" stainless steel mesh pad so you can skip the tedious tying phase and immediately add dramatic, flowing depth to your tank. It is an absolute game-changer for creating realistic underwater weeping trees or giving your hardscape a soft, trailing edge. Key Features & Benefits Features drooping fronds naturally hang downward, creating a soft, trailing waterfall aesthetic that brings instant motion to your tank. The 3" x 3" stainless steel pad naturally sinks and stays put, letting you grow a lush, low-profile carpet with zero planting hassle. Thick, overlapping hanging canopy forms a secure, shaded sanctuary that coaxes shy fish and delicate dwarf shrimp out of hiding to show off their brightest colors. Care & Planting Instructions Place the metal mesh pad directly onto your substrate for a rolling green carpet, or tie/glue the moss to elevated hardscape to create a weeping tree look. Keep your water parameters stable and avoid making rapid, drastic changes to your aquarium chemistry to protect the delicate fronds from melting. Trim the trailing ends occasionally with sharp aquascaping shears to keep the canopy looking manicured and to promote even thicker, bushier cascading growth. Provide clean weekly water changes and low to medium lighting; adding CO2 is not strictly necessary, but it will make the moss weep much faster and denser. Propagate your weeping canopy down the road by simply cutting off sections of new growth and securing them to other elevated hardscape surfaces.
