    Default Carpet moss care

    I am going to get some tropical carpet moss and was wondering how I can get it to grow the fastest and how fast will it grow??

    Whoops, missed this one. Bright light (6500-6700 k) and plenty of water are the best ways to get your moss to grow faster. From what i know, the moss grows faster than pillow moss, but im not sure exactly how fast. Hopefully someone with plant and moss experience (Bill) will chime in

    That brand isn't good for plant growth. I had that light on my whites and the plant grew maybe three leaves in a year. The best light are the LED kind. They are a bit pricey but your flora will thank you for it

    You can buy LED bulbs that will fit a regular light bulb socket. Think Josh Frogs and also Jungle carry them .
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    Would a repti glo 2.0 give enough uvb as well be good for plants?
