Taxiphyllum barbieri

Taxiphyllum barbieri from Southeast Asia is a hardy plant that requires little water or light. The moss reaches a thickness of 3 to 10 cm and grows freely on any surface, making it ideal for decorating rocks and tree roots or concealing installations in the aquarium. Secure the plant with a piece of fishing line or cotton thread until it becomes firmly established in the decoration. If its growth becomes too lush, it can be pruned with scissors. In breeding aquariums, Taxiphyllum barbieri is a wonderful hiding place for young fish.
