Characteristics of Vesicularia Montagnei "Christmas Moss"

It grows in bushy patches that are always a good hiding place for shrimp and fry. It also provides growing areas for small live food sources such as infusoria and biofilms. Once established in the aquarium, the leaves of Christmas moss look very bushy and look like miniature pointy pines.

This is a very easy plant to maintain without much extra care, but like all plants, it can benefit from CO2 supplementation, although this is not necessary. Like many mosses, it generally grows well in a well-maintained aquarium with a small supply of additional nutrients.
