Introduction of breeding methods and maintenance techniques of deer antler moss

Antler moss is a kind of aquatic plant, how to breed antler moss, then we will introduce it in detail. Friends who want to breed antler moss can make a reference.

Antler moss, also known as fork money moss, its most likeable thing is that Y-shaped clusters of leaves will appear bubbles, transformed into the blessing of a mermaid. But to see the spectacle of the Bubble Sea, strong light and plenty of CO2 are necessary. I don't like salty soft water. Because it is a spongy floating grass without roots, it is mostly fixed by a thin net or black thread to stones of different shapes, or the whole net is on a large piece of sunken wood. It is mostly used to create the feeling of moss in the forest; when pruning, it is done at an oblique angle to avoid destroying the growing point of the leaf tip; it propagates in a foliated way.

Deer antler moss is a kind of floating moss widely distributed all over the world for aquarium decoration.

Cultivation techniques of deer antler moss

Key points of cultivation

In general, the cultivation of antler moss needs to meet three conditions, namely, high light, carbon dioxide and proper addition of liquid fertilizer, so that it is easier to see its most beautiful side-bubbling, liquid fertilizer and light are relatively easy to satisfactory. however, most household planting is not equipped with carbon dioxide system, so we can only strengthen the light to make the antler moss reach a better state. If the light is not enough, then it is recommended not to plant antler moss, although it will not die, but it will not be in good condition.

About how to plant, as mentioned upstairs, use the thin fishing line to form a diamond cross to tie it to the sunken wood, stone, aluminum (non-steel) net. If you can buy a ready-made nylon net to replace the fishing line is also a good choice. Because antler moss is a floating aquatic plant, some of it will fall off and float on the water surface after growing for a period of time, so the water surface needs to be cleaned frequently, which is why some people are reluctant to grow antler moss.

The culture method of deer horn moss

The common method used by breeders is to find a square plastic or glass board and put a little sand on it, then put the antler moss on it, cover it with a nylon net or window screen and place it in the aquarium with fishing lines or rubber bands. These methods are not easy to shape (can only do square shape, otherwise can not cover the screen), classification inconvenience and other defects.

The first step

Cut the glass into the desired shape, such as square, round, or even make a pyramid or any shape you want. And polish the chamfer to make the scenery embryo.

Step two

Apply a layer of glass to the clean glass surface, glue it and then coat it with a layer of bottom sand, which is preferably the same as the bottom sand of the aquarium. At this time, pay attention to the edge will also be glued to the bottom sand.

Step three

After the glass glue dries out, put on the antler moss and tie it up with a thin transparent fishing line by weaving a net or directly using a horizontal straight line. At this time, because there is also fine yarn on the edge of the glass embryo, the fishing line will not slip and cannot be fixed.

The fourth step

When you put it in the aquarium, it will naturally have a very beautiful shape.

We extend this to the following, that is to say, we can also use this way to shape on rocks and sunken wood. This will bring great convenience to our antler moss landscape, and can create the shape you like at will.

The breeding mode of deer horn moss

Deer antler moss propagates in a leafy way.

Antler moss is mostly used to create the feeling of moss in the forest; when pruning, use beveled approach to avoid destroying leaf tip growth points.

The above is the introduction of antler moss breeding. I hope it will be helpful to you.
