How do I grow java moss?

Right now I just have around a nickel sized portion and I'd like to know how I could grow it as fast as possible.





I need to know what is the best situation for it to grow under.

How do I grow java moss?
If you have cool water %26lt;28C, alittle light (not strong sunlight) and CO2 (DIY CO2 is good enough), plus alittle liquid fert for meant for aqautic plants.
Reply:unless you have a 5 watt lightbulb it will most likely grow. and fast. it kind of grows exponentially. the best thing to do is attach it to something and it will grow.

Reply:Add some blackwater extract to your water...gives the traces of humic acid and creates the brackish water that java moss naturally thrives in. Give it a good amount of sunlight, but not direct light. That's about it. You can't really accelerate the growth of java moss by very much, but it does grow pretty fast on its own.
