Riccia or Xmas On DW...Help !

[JavaMoss]

Hey fish fanatics, I have a small piece of drift wood and I want to attach some kind of loss to it in hope it will attach to it and start to grow so...

Which moss shall I get riccia moss or Christmas Moss and how do I go about attatching it to driftwood ? Please help many thanks

You can use either one.

You can use cotton thread or fishing line to attach moss to the DW. Good luck.

So would I just spread the moss on the moss driftwood and tie it down with cotton ? Many thanks

I think riccia is a little more difficult, at least mine has been. I've had some large bunches, but most end up as tiny pieces.

Yes, but Using a cotton thread. Not cotton.

Riccia is a pain IME. It never attached for me, and until I put it in high light, it started dying all of a sudden. I have some floating in my 125 and it's doing great, but wouldn't grow in my 40 breeder under 2x39w T5HO

I have riccia growing fine in low-medium, but it definitely grew faster in higher light/co2. I leave it floating.
