1 Portion size = 2 ounce container
- Scientific Name: Monosolenium tenerum (Pellia Moss)
- Water Temperature: 59-77°F (15-25°C)
- pH Level: 6.0-7.5
- Water Hardness: Soft to moderately hard (2-15 dGH)
- Lighting: Low to moderate lighting levels are preferred. Too much light can lead to algae growth on the moss.
- CO2 Requirement: While not strictly necessary, CO2 supplementation can promote faster growth and denser mats.
- Substrate: Monosolenium tenerum can attach to various surfaces such as rocks, driftwood, or substrate. A nutrient-rich substrate is beneficial for its growth.
- Propagation: Propagated by dividing the moss. Simply separate sections of the mat and attach them to the desired surface.
- Care Level: Easy. Trim any excess growth to maintain the desired shape and appearance. Remove any debris that accumulates on the moss.
- Special Considerations: Pellia Moss can be sensitive to high levels of dissolved organics, so regular water changes are important. It thrives in a well-established tank with stable water parameters.
By providing these parameters and conditions, Monosolenium tenerum can create a lush, carpet-like appearance in your aquarium, adding a beautiful and natural look to the underwater landscape.
