TAXIPHYLLUM SPEC. 'GIANT' – Large-Leaf Decorative Moss for Natural Aquascapes
Taxiphyllum spec. 'Giant' is an ornamental moss from Southeast Asia, admired for its broad leaflets and compact, decorative growth pattern. Similar in structure to the popular Taxiphyllum alternans 'Taiwan', this variety features slightly larger fronds, providing greater volume and visual impact. It's ideal for enriching driftwood, rocks, and aquascaping elements with a lush, natural green presence.
Despite its name, 'Giant' moss grows slowly but steadily, maintaining a neat, organized appearance under optimal conditions. It thrives in clean water, under low to medium lighting, and benefits from minimal CO₂ supplementation. Regular trimming promotes compact growth and dense branching. When used in the foreground or attached to vertical surfaces, it enhances the aquascape with subtle yet elegant greenery.
