That's what I did too. I just tore off what I didn't want. I never cut it.

Sorry to jump in here, but the parts you cut off...can they be re-used? I.e. tie them elsewhere?

Great. My moss is getting a bit long and straggly in my tank so I'll have a trim and retie the trimmings to the other bare branches. Moss seems to be excellent value for money in this respect!

just trim your moss as your doing a water change. it will get sucked out with the water.

All plants by their nature are a good value if you provide what they need! You could easily end up with 10x the amount of plants that you paid for.

I knew someone would jump on this. Lol. I meant it's cheap, grows fast, and an idiot can grow it with no special requirements (probably why I'm doing well with it). Put this in the context VS very high maintenance plants = value for money. No?
