Riccia Mixed With Java Or Willow Moss

[cleekdaFish]

Im gonna Layer the Riccia and then on top of the Riccia layer some Java moss or Willow moss, allowing some of the moss to stick out on one side beyond the Riccia. Top that with another layer of Riccia. Wrap the whole thing with thread or netting. Ill have a Riccia-moss sandwich on my mini bogwood!



I ll shoot some pics and show u guys how will it be

I think you will end up with disaster.

Initially the Riccia will starve the moss of light, and it is also a nutrient leech being a liverwort.

You may end up with just Riccia and the moss being a 'food source' for the Riccia as it decays.

Riccia will go from under a net to 1 inch above the net within a month, whereas moss is a much slower grower.

Much better is to do 2 seperate slates and let them grow side by side.

Also remember that Riccia wil never attach and therefore you need to re-tie it down at intervals.
