yes! its not a true aquatic moss and will die with in a couple of months, very slow growing so you dont even see the impact that it would be if grown emersed.
Najas on the other hand is WONDERFUL!!!!! lolol

comes in nice bunches about 15 stems per bunch on this species.

We learnt the hard way with star moss, ordered some, it turned up and the second we took it out the bag it fell into tiny pieces, daz is right it is not aquatic, it actually comes from deserts and can dry out for months and still live.

think im going to get some from daz,
been looking but there are so many
so going to sort tanks out first then play around
and order. Smile

What a bummer... Bought some of it 3 weeks ago. Will it really die? No way to make it work? I put it in and it is growing these tiny little green hairs/roots/tendrils. I thought that was a good sign... : (
