Tropica Taxiphyllum sp. 'Flame Moss' InVitro

Tropica Taxiphyllum sp. ’Flame Moss’ InVitro
100% sterile laboratory aquarium plants in sealed cups

Flame Moss is a real eye-catcher among mosses: Taxiphyllum sp. ‘Flame Moss’ grows upright and slightly twisted, so that the shoots rise like small green flames. This unusual growth makes it perfect for modern scapes where you want to add structure and dynamism – without it looking too wild.

Flame Moss looks its best on stones, roots, edges, and plateaus. There, the typical "flame" effect is created, which is just as strong in nano layouts as in large tanks.
