So I FINALLY recieved my order of frontinalis, and I'm wondering, are there any specific temperature requirements for the species? I know certain mosses necessitate lower temps (v. "xmas" I recall, though I'm growing my lot at just under 85 degrees...don't tell anyone ), and I'm wondering just how high the heater can go to keep this stuff lush and healthy?

Willow Moss - Frontinalis antipyretica

http://www.aquamoss.net/Willow-Moss/Willow-Moss.htm

It should fare better then Christmas moss in tropical temps.

If you're not sure of if it will do well, save a piece in a water bottle, should your tank moss die, you'll know what went wrong and have a 'backup bit' to grow out again.
Good luck
