Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to tie this moss onto a decoration myself?
Do I need to tie this moss onto a decoration myself?
No. It's supplied already mounted on a piece of wood, so you can place it straight into the tank.
Is this the same as regular Java moss?
Is this the same as regular Java moss?
No. It's a different species, distinguished by a fir-tree-like side-branch structure, and it's described as more demanding to keep and slower growing than ordinary Java moss (Vesicularia dubyana).
How big does it get?
How big does it get?
It grows low, reaching around 1 to 3cm tall, and spreads outward on and around its wood mount over time.
Does it need trimming?
Does it need trimming?
Yes. It needs pruning from time to time to keep its branching shape neat, since it will spread in the water if left untrimmed.
This piece of Vesicularia montagnei 'Christmas Moss' comes already mounted on wood, giving you a ready-to-place feature for an aquascape rather than loose moss you have to tie on yourself. It suits planted-tank keepers after a finer, fir-tree-textured moss than ordinary Java moss. Expect slower growth and a touch more care than beginner mosses, with occasional pruning needed to keep its shape neat.
This is a piece of Vesicularia montagnei, a moss species from Brazil, already mounted on wood, with a side-branch pattern that gives it a fir-tree look and sets it apart from ordinary Java moss (Vesicularia dubyana). Being pre-attached to the wood means you get a feature piece ready to lower into the tank, rather than something you need to tie on yourself, which helps you get it into the aquascape without extra preparation.
It suits planted-tank keepers who want a finer-textured moss for hardscape or carpeting effects and are comfortable giving it a bit more attention than a beginner species needs. It's described in the source material as more demanding to keep than ordinary Java moss and slower growing, so it rewards a bit of patience while it establishes.
What you get is one piece of Christmas moss attached to its wood base, in the standard size this product is sold in.
What sets it apart is that fir-branch structure, together with its habit of rooting onto anything it touches: as it spreads, it attaches itself readily to further stones or wood, so it can be trained onto more of the hardscape over time. It does need regular pruning, since left untrimmed it will spread in the water and lose the tidy shape that gives it its name.
