Free floating java over grown in one of my minnow bowls |
 |
To propagate I'm going to start by removing part of the clomp
either by pulling the strands apart or by using scissors |
 |
close up of a section of java moss that has been extracted
from a bowl. |
| |
placing java moss into a new bowl can be done several was.
One way is to just place a small clump in and let it float freely |
 |
You can place java moss in the roots of another plant like
those of this spider plant. I've grown quite a few spider plants and a fair
amount of java moss using this method. |
 |
 |
Another recommended method is tying the java moss to a piece of drift
wood or this lava rock. While the moss could be placed under the stone to
hold it in place the portion of the plant under the rock will eventually
die. |
