I had some Willow Moss in my big tank but didn’t really like the submerged appearance. I pulled it out and put in my emersed “Bits Box”.

It looked very black and dead for a while but has just started putting out new growth, looks really cool. Like little green fern leaves. Hope to use some in my upcoming Emersed scape (waiting cabinet) https://www.ukaps.org/forum/threads/the-falls-dooa-wall-60.55928/Thanks for looking

Thanks Darrel, I must it twice a day, seems to do a lot better than in my high teck tank!

For emersed set up I will try a reptile fogger to keep it very humid.

Hi all,

I think it should be fine, if you can keep it wet enough. I've seen it in <"some of the turloughs"> in the Burren, growing on rocks that will spend some time submerged and shorter periods in the summer emersed.

This is from <"http://www.fossenvironmentalconsult...ses-and-liverwor/fontinalis-antipyretica.html">, and it looks like it had been dry for a while before re-growing.

Wow great information. Never heard of that kind of lake before. Certainly mine looked pretty dead before growing again. T
