Java Moss

[Fly258]

I have just bought some Java Moss after reading rave reports on this forum, easy to grow, grows fast, good ground cover etc. My question is, how do you plant it? It doesnt appear to have any roots. Ive tucked it under the gravel and left it . Is that it??
Regards

Wrap some fishing line or an elsatic band around a stone or some bogwood. Eventually it anchors itself, but frequently float off so it is best mechanically anchored.

Will this stuff grow out good and cover the bottom? Anyone have any pics?

Here is a picture of Java Moss as a "carpet" cover over the gravel...I hope the link works!!

I've mixed Java Moss and Fairy Moss to good effect.

Nice link! Is it safe to assume that with a carpet of Java moss, it isn't as pertinent to vacuum the gravel?
