Flame moss is one of those plants that are absolutely stunning in a tank. It gets its name from the way it grows vertically and looks like a flame. This moss is really easy to grow in almost any tank. It does have a slow growth rate but give it some time and it will cover driftwood and rocks no problem. You can buy it attached to a stainless steel metal sheet that will allow you to put it on your substrate and have it anchored. It is grown on the metal sheet so it shouldn't come free unless you try and take it off.

Most plants are sold as trimmings from rooted plants unless otherwise stated. All trimmings will be at least 3" in height unless otherwise noted.
