Still lives.
It is not very green, but I attached it to driftwood for possibly faster and healthier growth. But if stays so small for a long time, I probably will not keep adding it to my tank.

Java moss has turned brown and crispy
Maybe the moss was shocked when it went in my tank, but most of it had already died. Within 2 weeks.
