Hello,

I know the answer is on this forum already but I couldnt find exaclty what I was looking for.

I just bought a bunch of java moss and wanted to grow it out a little. I know some people had success with putting it on a coconut shell and left it submerged in water by the window.
Is it really that easy or is there anything else needed in the process I just explained above?

Thank you for your help.

can you just put java moss in your tank or does it need a vase?
