This structured growth form gives aquascapes a natural, harmonious look and is ideal for planting roots, stones, and hardscape.

It is supplied InVitro in a sterile cup and is therefore 100% free of snails, algae, and pesticides – perfect for shrimp, nano, and aquascaping tanks. After thoroughly rinsing the nutrient gel, the moss can be divided into small portions and tied or glued.
