Review: Very very happy with this beautiful moss! - I'm not sure why the writing prompt wants me to mention thickness and warmth lol! It's moss! Not a blanket! Anyway! I attached several pictures because I was surprised at how much moss came out of the cup! It was packed in there! But, it was "happy" too. It wasn't smashed or anything. I added a wine bottle next to the cup just for size reference. The only problem with the pictures is that I feel the quantity of the moss isn't well represented. I felt like I got a whole lot of moss, and the pictures don't really show that. I took the moss out of the cup and put it in a plastic cup with purified alkaline water. I was going to quarantine and disinfect it with seachem prime and potassium parmanganate (as I do with all my aquatic plants before adding them to my pristine aquarium). However, I decided that a simple 7 day quarantine in the alkaline water was good enough because of the wonderful quality of the moss. There were absolutely NO bugs, nor nasty things of any kind. When I was ready to add it to my aquarium I took it out of the cup and gently pulled apart a few bundles. Using some twine that I boiled to disinfect, I wrapped one bundle around this aquarium safe bendable stick I have (which already had a very small amount of moss on it), and I wrapped some plastic mesh around another bundle which I added a few rocks into so it would sink. In a few months I'm hoping for a moss bush. And I just tucked another smaller bundle underneath an ornament. It looks great! It's been just a few weeks and I see new growth on the stick and a bit poking out of the plastic mesh in several spots. The bit I tucked looks relaxed and is making its way out and around. I'm extremely happy with this purchase. Since I've added it to my tank, my Molly has given birth and at least 4 fry have survived! Before the moss, another of my Molly's gave birth and only 1 survived! I'm not in the breeding business, but, I do want to give the creatures I care for the best possible life, and if they are having babies and those babies are surviving and thriving, I'm doing something right. I highly, highly recommend this seller and their moss. Thank you. Review: Just got it 2 orders on November 20, 2020. Looking good. - I was surprised to see that they filled the 4 oz cup very well I was happy with the amount. But I am also glad I purchased 2 orders 4 Oz is well 4 Oz.. It survived it's trip very well, I was a little worried since it did take 10 days to arrive and the weather is cooling so fast. Of course it's just a twisted clump of it now. But Java fern is suppose to grow fast so I am excited. Since I have a well established aquarium with no snails, I am treating it with ParaGard to kill any unwanted organism such as snails and any micros such as Ick (JUST IN CASE). I don't know if after the ParaGard treatment if I should treat it in an algaecide. In the past my tanks have been infected with green hair like algae that was very very difficult to treat. I am happy with my orders, but I don't think I will have to order Java Fern again because it's reported to be a fast growing plant. If I remember I will will send photos and update this posting. I felt like this was a great price for this plant. Thank you, Todd Delaroderie 10 days ago I picked out all the "greener" pieces and throw out all the brown pieces. I still had a nice amount. I made a light wire webbing out of light weight wire. This is my first time at this. I placed the bulk of the moss in the webbing and twisted it up to hold it in place. Ok, maybe I damaged it a little while quarantining it with ParaGard and/or wrapped it up too tight. It's alive and seems to be growing. But it's not a brilliant green but any stretch of the imagination. It's not brow either, just a brownish green if that's possible. My cherry shrimps love it. The moss is covering up the wires so you can no longer see them. It seems to be growing. I'll update in another week or 2. Hopefully, this will help set what you will experience as well.

Just think of it as a freebie, instead of paying $7 a snail at the pet store. **Q: do you bundle shipping when we order more than one type of plant?** A: Yes, shipping is combined automatically at check out. Just make sure to check them all out at once as opposed to one by one. **Q: Can this float at top of tank for fry?** A: I would suggest keeping it anchored due to the fact that it will clog your filters otherwise. Unless you achor it to a flotation device... **Q: Got stuck at the post office (not sellers fault), how do I revive the plants? Currently brownish-green still after a week.** A: I did not have good luck with this plant. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very very happy with this beautiful moss! *by L***8 on March 27, 2021* I'm not sure why the writing prompt wants me to mention thickness and warmth lol!

I just read about hitchhikers others have received. I better not have any, I expect better from a professional seller. Revision. I attempted to attach the moss to driftwood as I often have. The pieces/ parts of tiny scraps just shredded and are floating all over my tank. This is not a solid clump of moss as you usually get, but rather, tiny little scraps that could have been vacuumed off the floor of the aquarium workshop and shoveled into a little cup. ## Frequently Bought Together - Java Moss Portion in 4 Oz Cup - Easy Live Fresh Water Aquarium Plants - Anubia Nana on Driftwood (1.5-2 Inches) - Java Fern Bare Root | Microsorum Pteropus - Low Light Freshwater Aquarium Plant --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/17277433-java-moss-portion-in-4-oz-cup-easy-live-fresh](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/17277433-java-moss-portion-in-4-oz-cup-easy-live-fresh) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-01*
