Trimming Java Moss

Hi All,

I am new to keeping moss, i received some java moss a few weeks ago and would like to trim it but when do i know it needs trimming and can i use normal scissors to do the trimming also will the trimmings grow if i attach it to another peace of wood

Thanx :wondering:

 

The trimmings will grow on another piece of wood. a normal pair of scissors will work but may damage the moss if not sharp the best to use are hair scissors or surgical tissue scissors

 

I wonder if one can make glass scissors,that way they won't rust.

 

Thanx for the answer snyper564

yea that would be great!!!!!:bigsmile:

 

@gerrit no prob
@ stormer u get glass knives sharper than scalpels but stainless steal wont rust very easily either

 

Guys This is why In love this forum I think about a question and chances are I will find the answer online some where..

 

Is'nt java moss not allowed in the country any more?

 

I hope not, there is so much of it in the country already how do they stop it... Here we go again

 

No, its not on the plant blacklist so obviously it is allowed

 

chalk another one up to my LPS.

 

I don't know if it is black listed, all i know is it looks great in a tank!!!!

 

Java Moss - Vesicularia dubyana. - is NOT on the blacklist!
