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.

Healthy tub of plants

Java Moss
Posted by James Northam on 24 Jul 2020I secured the jave moss to sever rocks and some Malaysian driftwood. It recovered from shipping fairly quickly, within 3 to 5 days almost all of the moss had perked up and showed new growth. Soon to be placed in a planted 40gal turtle aquarium. Only using simple green (safe for shrimp/snails) low tech, and Fluval Aquasky 2.0.

Healthy and Growing Right
Posted by Trees on 2 Jul 2020I was so pleased to open the cup and find that the moss had already been growing into a mat. It was so perfect, I could just glue it onto slate just the way I planned. Showed up very lush with minimal brown spots.
