Problems with java moss

[Riv D]

I'm trying to get this stuff to grow and cover my driftwood,but it just ends up falling apart and ending up in my intake tube.
I'm using a 18 watt flora sun in a 30 gal.

You could tie the moss to the driftwood with an elastic or fishing string. I've found that when grown in low light, it doesn't tend to cling to anything. In high light, it's the opposite. It grows like mad and roots into the wood no problem.

Being a moss, it never truly roots to anything.

Okay, root was the wrong word. "Clings" works better.
