Pflegehinweise
Ferrie moss is easy to grow, similar to Singapore moss. Low to moderate lighting is sufficient, no CO2 needed. Water should be soft to moderately hard, pH 5.5-7.5, temperature 20-28°C. It attaches easily to rough surfaces. Regular trimming keeps it compact. Liquid nutrients can improve density. Avoid excessive light to prevent algae.
