Willow Moss on Stainless Steel

Plant Profile

Common Name: Willow Moss, Fontinalis antipyretica

If you are looking to branch out from basic aquatics, Willow Moss is the rising star your layout has been weeping for. Named after its graceful, delicate fronds that beautifully mirror the weeping branches of a classic willow tree, this gorgeous plant brings a soft, distinctly natural elegance to any underwater scenery. This pre-anchored pad gives you a massive head start by arriving ready to drop in and grow!

Key Features & Benefits

• The premium pre-attached stainless steel mesh pad allows you to anchor a lush, instant moss carpet directly onto your substrate without fighting buoyant plants.
• Its unique cascading growth pattern effortlessly softens the harsh edges of heavy rocks and dark driftwood to create a deeply realistic ecosystem look.
• This incredibly hardy variety easily survives across a very wide spectrum of water parameters to ensure a stress-free experience for growers of all levels.

Care & Planting Instructions

• Place the metal mesh pad directly onto your substrate or tuck it firmly into your hardscape cracks, ensuring the moss receives clean water flow.
• Keep your tank conditions stable and avoid sudden, drastic parameter shifts to prevent the delicate fronds from experiencing shock or melting.
• Trim the plant regularly with sharp aquascaping shears and propagate new patches easily by simply cutting a clump and anchoring it to a fresh surface.
• Provide clean water changes and a steady supply of carbon dioxide injection if you want to maximize its beautiful coloration and accelerate its growth rate.
• Do not panic if you spot small brown pieces mixed into your fresh portion because this is completely normal, and new bright green shoots will quickly outgrow them.
