Can your LFS not order what you want?
No. They said they're from being it hard to get any moss at all from the suppliers. I actually ordered Xmas moss from another Irish stores and they sent me wrong moss as substitute. I might call the place that made my tank hood & see can they order Xmas moss in. Their delivery is €7 which is much better.

I think all suppliers are having issues, very little live plants in the 4 stores I ican get to.

Yeah, Exotic in Belfast say they're getting deliveries but don't know what they're getting until it arrives.

£14/£15. I'll keep looking or switch to java Moss. Most of the plants are looking well. Really like how the lagandra is standing up. And the Echinodorus is turning red. There are new shoots on the Limnophila though they might have been budding when added. But the Cryptocoryne Beckettii 'Petchii' isn't doing great. It seperated when I was cleaning so maybe needs to be bunched up

Think you're just experiencing crypt melt. Shove some root tabs under it, it'll grow back! Even if there's nothing left but roots, it'll come back. I've grown crypts from nothing but roots before
See the dark green/reddish crypt at the front left? And more on the front right? Those are just parts of a crypt I grew from nothing but some roots from a long neglected, algae covered tank, there's a much bigger main plant hidden behind the rock here, they're just new plants it produced in less than a year. Crypts are hardy things, they comeback
They are also known for melting when moved to a new environment. Just give them time. I find they do better separated and not bunched.
I think I need more plants. I've given up trying to get Xmas moss. Only stock is in UK with £15-£20 delivery.
So I'm gonna stick to the stock from the good fish shop I've used - Seahorse Aquarium. The triangle moss has a similar look to Xmas so I'll order about 5/6 to finish the bonsai tree.
Looking at their other plants stock - is there anything you'd avoid? I won't be using CO2 & want pretty low maintenance plants & some fast growing to help my cycle along. My lone snail seems to be ok
