Erect moss suffering from Erectile Dysfunctional

**anaconda** · 28th Sep 2005, 08:14

I had a small drift wood of erect moss, they grew fine at first. Nice and erect

After my first harvest, now the original moss on the driftwood and the harvest that i tied on another driftwood are not growing straight up. They are growing sideways like Taiwan moss and Xmas moss

The tank condition hasnt changed. Same amount of light

Anyone has any ideas why?

Perhaps they are orientating themselves towards the light source? Mine didnt grow well till i almost gave up already. Bro Ockly will be able to answer your question. He has one of the most beautiful Erect moss around here.

Yes, usually the moss are orientating towards the light source, just give them sometime...

Juz wondering if too much CO2 could cost them to turn brown too? I dont hv substrate, juz lapis sand. I plant them straight into the soil. Currently left only a few stalks

Anyway i would be getting a fan, then prob. starts to hunt for moss again.
