Vesicularia montagnei 'Christmas' on Wood

Vesicularia montagnei 'Christmas', commonly known as Christmas Moss, is a popular and visually striking aquatic moss that adds a lush, natural look to any aquarium. Named for its distinctive, layered, fir-tree-like growth pattern, this moss creates dense, cascading foliage, making it an excellent choice for aquascapers who want to enhance the natural beauty of their tank.

Christmas Moss is incredibly versatile and can be attached to rocks, driftwood, or other hardscape elements to create natural-looking tree canopies, walls, or ground cover. It thrives in low to moderate lighting but develops a more compact and vibrant appearance under higher light and CO₂ supplementation.
