Java Moss

[winaldo]

maybe im being paranoid i bought some java moss off ebay i have attached it to slate and wood but after reading back posts i think some off it could be dead as some brown bits ..
if its dead will that stuff just disappear and rest off it grow or am im best just take it all out or leave it see what happens

I swear you could drop an atomic bomb on Java Moss and it would not only survive but also harness the energy to grow. Just leave it in unless it is clearly past the point of no return and if conditions are even semi-decent I should think it will make a full recovery. After all, I think we would all feel a bit rough after being put thrown around the sorting office and being left in the dark with no food for days on end.

Sometimes I tie mine up and bury the bottom of it in the gravel... the bit that gets buried turns brown but doesn't disintegrate like other dead plants. I agree... pretty hard to actually kill that stuff! LOL
