How does Moss reproduce?

Moss is a bryophyte that does not blossom, produce seeds or roots, so how does Moss reproduce? Let's take a look at it next.

First, how does Moss reproduce

Moss plants share a life cycle, producing the first generation of dominant gametophytes. The green leafy structure of gametophytes usually connects us to Moss. Moss is essentially a terrestrial plant that relies on water membranes to transport male cells (swimming sperm) to female cells, both of which are produced in gametophytes. When the environment is suitable, the next generation of sporophyte or spore-bearing tissue begins to grow. The sporophyte is a capsule growing at the end of the stem tissue called bristles, and the sporophyte does not contain chlorophyll but is parasitic on the maternal gametophyte. Sporophytes release spores when they die, and if spores germinate, they can produce a new generation of gametophytes.

Second, what is the use of Moss?

The main use of aquatic Moss is to create a natural aquarium landscape by attaching it to sunken wood or stone. As an epiphyte, Moss's false roots can be fixed to wood and stone. Moss can also be used to make a background in a grass jar. Not only that, Moss is also important for fish reproduction, because aquatic Moss can be widely used as an egg bed, and Moss can absorb excess waste from fish fry. It is not very difficult to plant in aquarium tanks. Many species are not demanding, they can tolerate low light, can grow well without carbon dioxide supplementation, and can survive on very small amounts of nutrients. But with proper light, carbon dioxide and a lot of nutrients and trace elements, we can enjoy the true beauty of these aquatic plants in the aquarium.

3. The growing environment of Moss

It is a negative grass. It will grow well without light, but there must be light in the room. If the intensity of light is different, the shape of growth is also different. It is easy to feed Moss, but it is not easy to be in a state. It is best to add bright light, carbon dioxide and liquid fertilizer regularly. It can be said that it is one of the necessary aquatic plants in the tank of all fish lovers. It is also a doting grass source for fish, shrimp, snails and other aquarium.

There are many kinds of Moss, for some people who like farmed fish to watch, you can choose some more good-looking Moss, such as Flame Moss, Coral Moss and so on.
