Vesicularia montagnei - Christmas Moss

This moss is very easy to grow in the aquarium, as it will grow with almost any amount of light. Although not as hardy as the legendary Java moss, it will survive with low light and no CO2. Growth will be considerably slower and it will not form the ideal structure, but it will still survive. Like other mosses, Christmas moss prefers cooler temperatures, under 77 F. Over this, it tends to suffer, growing more slowly. In lower light conditions, it grows much less densely, and again, is often much less organized in structure. Only under higher light conditions, attached or anchored to an object, does Christmas Moss show its true structure. It will form a willowy bush of triangular fronds that is very attractive and undemanding.
