How long does it take for java moss to grow into a huge clump

[FishOverseer909]

So I was wondering how long will it take for a 5 inch long 2 inch high clump of java moss to grow to a decently large clump that I can start planting in my other tanks

Give it a month with proper fertilization and it should double without issues. I haven't grown java specifically but this has been my experience with christmas moss and subwassertang

It won't grow in my high ph rock hard water.

Mine is 7.6 ph and 300 hardness and it still grew a lot.

i have java moss in multiple tanks and its grown double in size and got more sphere(y) in the 60 days or so. i will be trimming in the next week and transfer to another tank. i absolutely love the way it looks. i give them 12 hours of light a day and may cut it down an hour or 90 minutes as GHA sometimes appears, but i just use a long tweezer to twist and pull it out. good luck

Mine grow in tanks ranging in pH from about 6.8 - 7.5, all low-tech, temps either 72° or 78°-84°, low to moderate lighting, and it does great in all of them. I've been growing for, oh... About 7 or 8 months and I've divided it multiple times and given clumps to friends already. My "mother" clump was getting a little brown on the bottom, so I moved it around, started more ferts and am giving it higher quality lighting and so far so good.

With patience it'll really take off. Doesn't seem to be picky so long as it has plenty of fish or ferts to feed of off.

On the flip side, I recently bought two clumps that were obviously grown emersed and it had some serious die-back. Isn't dead, buts it's been a month and I'm still waiting to see some real active growth.

in my experience as long it has some ferts it grows like crazy
