**Care of Spiky Moss:** 
Spiky Moss requires very little upkeep and is simple to maintain. Because Spiky Moss flourishes under low to moderate lighting it serves as the perfect plant choice for aquariums that cannot provide high light levels. Injecting CO₂ into your aquarium water helps Spiky Moss grow faster and develop stronger green coloration even though CO₂ supplementation is not necessary. Spiky Moss grows best when kept in soft to moderately hard water that maintains a pH level between 6.0 and 7.5 while the water temperature stays between 72-80°F (22-27°C).

For proper Spiky Moss care, secure it to rocks, driftwood or mesh by using either super glue or thread. Maintaining its desired shape requires occasional trimming since it grows at a slow pace. Regular water changes coupled with light fertilization containing micronutrients and iron work well for Spiky Moss.

Introducing Spiky Moss to your aquarium creates a stunning visual display with minimal upkeep that both beautifies your aquatic landscape and supports the well-being of your underwater pets.
