Peacock Moss (Taxiphyllum sp. ‘Peacock’): Care & Growing
Caring for the taxiphyllum sp. peacock moss is not difficult and can be easy enough for a beginner to handle. It thrives in cold water with the temperature between 65°F and 77°F. In higher temperatures, the peacock moss will begin to die and it will wilt and lose its peacock-shaped fronds. It does well in both hard and soft water, though it needs water with pH levels between 5.0 and 7.5. Peacock moss does well in all lighting, but the more lighting it receives the faster it will grow. The high intense lighting also causes the moss to grow more compact and more defined triangular-shaped fronds. Adding CO2 to the tank will also assist the moss in growing at a higher speed though it is not necessary.
