Phoenix Moss - Fissidens fontanus
(US Fissidens)
A newly 'discovered' aquatic moss,
Fissidens fontanus which originates from USA, is now available in Singapore. It is a very nice
fissidens species and it is truely aquatic. The best part is that the rhizoids of
Fissidens fontanus would cling on readily to the woods or stones after a while, and so doesn't require frequent re-tying of the moss. Coupled with the fact that this
fissidens is small in size and not very fast growing, one can see the potential of using
Fissidens fontanus to cover the driftwood and bogwood and create a
natural aquarium landacape. Once the
fissidens settled in and take 'root', it would virtually be maintenance free.
