Christmas Moss

About Christmas Moss

Christmas Moss (Vesicularia montagnei) grows in overlapping, triangular fronds that look like tiny fir branches. Tied or glued to driftwood and rock, it forms dense green cushions that shelter shrimp and fry. It is neater and more compact than Java moss.

Most aquarium plants are grown above water at the nursery, so some leaves may melt in the first weeks while new submerged growth appears. Plant into a nutrient-rich substrate or add root tabs, and keep the temperature between 22 and 28°C.

Like Java moss, Christmas moss creates a thick green ground cover and a haven for shrimp and fry.  The tips of the plant will go up and look like tiny Christmas trees.
