1. Morphology of Coniferous Moss

Coniferous Moss is a submerged spore-like bryophyte , its appearance is similar to Peacock Moss, but the branches are more sparse than Peacock Moss. It can grow on wet dead wood or rocks. The leaves are dark green, and the leaves are translucent. The leaves are larger than Taiwan Moss, oval-lanceolate, softer, and the leaflets are serrated and undulating. It is easy to branch laterally, the distance between the upper and lower leaves is sparse, and the stem is light green and more prominent, like a steel needle hidden in the grass, hence the name.

2. Habits of Coniferous Moss

Coniferous Moss has no special requirements for the growth environment. The temperature is 15-30℃, the water temperature should not be too high, and the growth is better at low temperature. If the water temperature exceeds 30 degrees, the phenomenon of leaf dissolution will occur, and the growth of aquatic plants will be hindered. The requirements for light are not high, but the growth is poor in low light environments, and the growth is flourishing under strong light. In addition, aquatic plants do not require high nutrients. They can grow normally without adding carbon dioxide, but the addition can promote growth.

3. Cultivation of conifer Moss

Cultivation of conifer Moss is relatively easy, and there are no strict requirements for cultivation conditions. As long as the water temperature is properly controlled, it can be cultivated in normal environments. , It is best to choose weakly acidic water quality during cultivation. After cultivation, carbon dioxide can be added appropriately to promote growth. Insufficient carbon dioxide will not have much impact on the development of aquatic plants. Sufficient light should be provided during the growth period, but not too strong to maintain water quality. Once the water quality is polluted, the aquatic plants will stop growing. After cultivation, keep the water clear, input carbon dioxide in an appropriate amount to increase the growth rate, and add nutrients in time during the growth period.
