Weeping Moss on Stainless Steel

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.
