Description
Java Moss (Vesicularia Dubyana)
Vesicularia Dubyana, commonly known as Java Moss, originates from India. It is an adaptable and versatile plant that can be used in various ways in your aquarium. For example, Java Moss can be used as a foreground plant placed among the bases of large stem plants attached to rocks, wood or just left on its own. The plant will attach to any surface and will spread in all directions. Java Moss uses rhizoids to attach itself to surfaces l. ike rocks or driftwood. Since it has no roots that burrow themselves in gravel or substrate, Java Moss absorbs excess nutrients from the water column, contributing to a healthier environment for your tank inhabitants. It is a hardy plant and regular fertilization will increase its rate of growth. Java Moss is ideal in aquariums housing breeding or small fish or fry.
Care Guide for Java Moss
Java Moss is one of the least demanding aquatic plants in the hobby. It does not have any special water quality requirements, will grow in low light conditions, and does not require fertilization. However, if provided with more intense light and some fertilization, Java Moss will grow faster. Java Moss can be used in cold water tanks.
- Minimum Lighting Required: Low
- Temperature Range: 59-86° F
- Tank Placement: Foreground, Specimen
You can let your moss grow over the bottom of the tank, or you can tie it to wood or rocks using scaper's glue or cotton thread. Java Moss looks particularly attractive when tied to branches or rocks, giving the aquarium a natural look.

1/4 lb
Posted by Nicholas Olivo on 18 Feb 2022Ordered quite a bit of Java. Came mostly brown, unfortunately. I soaked it immediately when i received it this morning. Found about 4 dead small crabs. Smelled pretty bad tbh. Hopefully it bounces back

Java Moss
Posted by Donna Bowen on 29 Nov 2021This was my first order and I was impressed with the entire process. My plants arrived early and are all very healthy. The cup was packed. It was a litle difficult to keep it down at first but now it's rooted in the substrate. My shrimp love it!

Great quality
Posted by Kel on 24 Nov 2021Moss arrived quickly and in great condition. No pests (on any plant I received). The smallest portion wasn't quite enough to cover the piece of wood I have, I definitely should have gotten 2.

So much java moss
Posted by john russo on 6 Aug 2021You get a LOT in a one-pound bag of Java Moss. Growing well. Biggest problem for me is where to put it. I have a 180 gal tank, and still not enough room.
