Re: Java moss pruning

I prune mine without any problems, actually lately I've just been ripping it
out by just pulling on it and there is always some left attached to the wood
that grows back. I also found that if I let mine grow too bushy it will
shade the bottom layers which end up melting and creating a mess. I'd say go
for it.

Hello, I got some nice rock dens I created that are now coated with java
moss.  My question is, is there any way to prune/mow it?  The moss is
getting pretty long now and I don't know how much (if it stops at all)
longer it's going to grow.  Starting to look pretty shaggy right now and
looking more like a giant fuzz ball as opposed to a rock den covered with
fur :)

Thanks
Pete.
