Vesicularia montagnei
Origin: Asia
Vesicularia montagnei, commonly known as Christmas Moss, is a popular aquarium moss from Asia with distinctive branching fronds that resemble miniature Christmas trees, adding a unique and recognizable texture to aquascape hardscape. It can be attached to driftwood, rocks, and mesh backgrounds or used as a substrate cover mat. Completely undemanding and low-light tolerant. Supplied as a Tropica 1-2-Grow tissue culture cup with approximately 25 clean plantlets.
Attach pieces to driftwood or rock with thin fishing line, cotton thread, or aquarium-safe glue — the moss will self-attach within a few weeks. No CO2 or high lighting required. Moderate flow keeps fronds clean and open. Trim to maintain desired shape. Propagates easily by division. Tissue culture format is pest-free and ideal for shrimp tanks.
