How to grow a moss wall in a frog tank?


Recommended Posts

Any ideas on how to grow xmas moss on the glass sides of a frog tank?

Im thinking along the lines of fixing plastic mesh or maybe even shadecloth to thwe glass. then try and get the moss to attach and grow up that.

Or should i just stop being lazy and make a polystyrene background. glue on some peat and grow moss on that.

I tried using this stuff from para rubber for an outside vertical garden but it didn't hold up to the uv light and started to break down. I ended up replacing it with dark green acrylic felt from spotlight and that worked much better. It holds moisture better, doesn't become hydrophobic when dry and doesn't deteriorate in uv light like the foam did.

However I wouldn't use something like this for a frog tank. Better off making a background out of something like tree fern fibre or clay imo, Because its more natural and doesn't require a pump.

I made a background out of some old tree fern fibre from the bush and it grew moss like crazy.
