Taxiphyllum alternans

Taxiphyllum alternans, commonly known as Taiwan moss, is a vibrant and attractive aquatic plant species. It has a bright green coloration, with delicate and feathery fronds that form dense clumps. Taiwan moss is well-suited for aquariums as it adds a natural and aesthetic appeal to the underwater environment.

In terms of care, Taxiphyllum alternans is considered beginner-friendly as it is relatively undemanding. It can thrive in a wide range of water conditions, from low to high light intensity. This moss does not require carbon dioxide (CO2) supplementation, making it suitable for setups without CO2 injection. Additionally, it can adapt to various water hardness levels. Taiwan moss is an excellent choice for creating lush, carpet-like mats or attaching to driftwood and rocks to create beautiful aquascapes.
