Christmas Moss Vesicularia dubyana Tissue Culture Freshwater Aquarium plant
Product Description:
Qty: 1 Christmas Moss Tissue Culture cup
This Christmas moss tissue culture is ready to grow as an aquarium plant and free from algae, pests, and snails. Christmas moss is also known as Vesicularia montagnei, or less commonly, Christmas tree moss. There are a few “variations” of this moss, like mini and Brazillian – which are recently-described species of Vesicularia – that are still sometimes called “Christmas moss” but they’re technically not.This moss is considered to be the easy one to keep. Really, it is completely undemanding and it can successfully grow at room temperature, it can vary from +18 to +26°C. Water hardness and its pH doesn’t play any significant role here, but yet it’s better to stick to average values of these parameters in a tank.
This aquarium moss grows rather fast. That’s why to maintain an aquascape composition you should cut from time to time. Otherwise, because of lack of light in the bottom layers they may start to rot and fall off a stone or a snag.
There are two ways you can cut:
- Cut the whole upper layer. After this the moss will grow many small and short brunches and they will make a fluffy hillock.
- Cut the moss brunches selectively and leave the most branchy shoots. After such a cut the moss will grow ‘hanging’ hillocks.
