How long does flame moss take to grow?

Flame moss grows at a rate of one-fifth of an inch per week. It reaches lengths of about 2 to 6 inches. It is a good choice for covering joins and equipment in an aquarium and also provides good cover for fry.

Flame moss is an aquarium plant native to Asia. It gets its name from a vertical, twisting growth habit that resembles leaping flames. The plant is hardy and can handle a pH range of 5 to 7.5. It will grow faster with high lighting but can tolerate poor light. Flame moss is usually tied to rocks, wood or mesh pads rather than being planted into an aquarium's substrate.
