Moss Cotton

Mosses grow onto surfaces like driftwood and cling to them over time. However, initially they need to be tied down in order to properly grow. Moss Cotton is a specialty thread made out of cotton, with a dark green coloration (so that it is hidden from view). The thread naturally degrades over time once the aquatic mosses has taken root on the driftwood or stones.

Product Description

When attaching mosses to stone or driftwood, make sure both the moss and driftwood are damp. Using a spray bottle, or submerging the driftwood in water in a bucket helps make the moss cling to the driftwood while tying down. Place moss over one side of the driftwood, make sure to cover any ugly parts of the driftwood, such as anywhere where there is scarring or is particularly uninteresting for the aquascape.

mosscottontying

Wrap moss cotton around the driftwood to secure moss to the piece. At the end tie a knot to make sure moss cotton stays secure until moss has naturally attached itself to driftwood.

    Wood Tight

    Aquatic ferns (such as bolbitus and java fern) and Anubias species do not root in soil. Rather they attach their roots to driftwood or stones. Wood Tight uses a brown colored (to blend with driftwood) vinyl over wire in order to temporarily fix these plants to driftwood initially, while roots take hold. After tying aquatic plants to the surface, it is easy to cut and remove with scissors.

    Riccia line is used to tie down Riccia onto stones and driftwood. 164 feet (50m) of strong line is included that does not dissolve over time in order to keep Riccia firmly attached to the surface, for this reason the line is tinted green to make it appear invisible when Riccia grows over it. You may also use Riccia line to attach moss to small stones, which can be difficult to attach using Moss Cotton.
