Type: AQUARIUM PLANTS

Fissidens fontanus, commonly called Phoenix Moss, is a gorgeous, feathery aquatic moss that adds brightness and dimension to a planted tank. Adaptable and virtually maintenance-free once established, it prefers a lower temperature around 77°F. Unlike many mosses, it can be planted directly into the substrate or will readily attach itself to hardscape without frequent re-tying.
