This is a creeping plant that grows on rocks, bogwood, etc. It thrives in dim light and likes warm temperatures. You should, however be careful when purchasing this plant. There are many mosses tagged as Java, but many of them are not meant to be grown underwater. A good dealer will know the difference. The genus name for Java moss is Vesicularia Dubyana. (Note: Many companies claim to have this in stock, only to give a substitution...WE HAVE IT IN STOCK.) .)

NOTE: This is "real" Java Moss (Vesicularia Dubyana), not "Willow moss" that most other companies try to substitute.

Portion smaller than in the past	September 3, 2010
Reviewer: MF from San Francisco, CA United States

I've bought java moss from aquariumplants before and the portion size was bigger.

The first portion, about a year ago, was roughly the size of a tennis ball. The most recent portion came in a golf ball sized tupperware-like container. 40% of the contents was dead. The remaining 60% is still alive in our low-tech tank.

Expect about 40% of this moss to be brown upon arrive (even next day air).

This is the only so-so product I have received from aquariumplants.

Portion is good but almost all of it is rotten.	December 24, 2008
Reviewer: Shankar Arumugam from Walpole, MA United States

I got mine 2 weeks ago. But though the quantity was good almost all of it was brown and there was rotten smell when I opened the bag. I still hoped that some of it might survive but now all is gone. It's a total waste of money.

Generous Portion	November 2, 2008
Reviewer: Perry from Chandler, AZ United States

I was impressed with the portion size and price of this java moss. 5 stars on portion size, I only give 4 stars because of the amount of "brown" java moss received. I would still recommend it.

My Bettas Love It!	September 21, 2006
Reviewer: Julie from Reseda, CA United States

My Bettas love this Java Moss. They rest on it, or under it, depending on their moods. It's so beautiful too. Aquariumplants.com sent it to me very quickly, and it was very well wrapped up and protected, so that when it arrived, it was alive and healthy! I am very happy with both the service and the plant!
