    I've bought josh's frogs sheet moss on 3 different occasions now. It looks pretty green initially, when I soak it and put it in the tank. Eventually, it all turns brown, I've not had it grow once at all. The first couple of times, I thought it was me. I've had it in 5 different tanks though, all with proper LED lighting, and it has never grown for me. I've given up, I replaced it with aquatic moss in my dart tank last time, and it is growing great. For the tree frogs, I'll go a different route next time.

    You used aquatic moss in the land portion successfully? Which type? [emoji4]

    I used java moss in the dart tank, I have no water feature in there, so it is always growing on land. I make sure to mist it decently once or twice a day.
