• 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.
