Taxiphyllum sp. Peacock, commonly known as Peacock Moss, is a versatile aquatic moss that enhances both aquariums and terrariums with its unique, velvet-like texture. Native to Southeast Asia, it thrives in slow-moving or still waters, often found growing on rocks, driftwood, and other submerged surfaces. While similar to Christmas moss, Peacock Moss features finer, less puffy fronds, making it a popular choice for aquascapers seeking a softer, more refined appearance in their setups.

This hardy plant is easy to maintain, preferring moderate to low lighting and clean water with a neutral to slightly acidic pH. It can be easily propagated through division, where clumps are separated and attached to new surfaces. In aquariums, Peacock Moss not only adds natural beauty but also provides a sanctuary for fish and other aquatic creatures, serving as a hiding place and breeding ground. In terrariums, it creates a lush ground cover while promoting a humid microclimate ideal for moisture-loving plants and animals. Perfect for aquascapers and terrarium enthusiasts alike, Peacock Moss is a must-have for adding a natural, vibrant touch to your environment.
