Flame Moss (Taxiphyllum ‘Flame’) Aquarium plant

Flame Moss (Taxiphyllum ‘Flame’) Aquarium plant

Flame Moss (Taxiphyllum ‘Flame’) is a stunning aquatic moss renowned for its unique upright growth, which resembles a softly flickering campfire. Supplied on a 5cm (2 inch) ceramic disk, this moss features tight, vertical shoots that rise 5–15 cm, adding depth, texture, and elegance to your aquarium. Its distinctive flame-like appearance makes it ideal for aquascapers seeking a dynamic, living centerpiece.

Unlike other mosses that spread quickly, Flame Moss grows slowly horizontally, making it perfect for horizontal surfaces, stones, or tree roots. Simply attach small bundles to your chosen hardscape, and the moss will gradually develop into a beautiful vertical display, creating a captivating focal point in any planted tank. Its lush, deep green color and gentle undulating motion add a natural, calming aesthetic that enhances any freshwater layout.

Flame Moss is low-maintenance, hardy, and adaptable to a wide range of aquarium conditions. It thrives under low to medium light and does well without additional CO₂, though growth can be improved with proper nutrients and gentle fertilization. Perfect for creating small moss carpets, midground clusters, or natural decorations, it provides shelter for tiny fish and shrimp while enriching the tank’s visual appeal.
