Christmas Moss AKA Xmas Moss (Vesicularia montagnei, FKA V. dubyna) Tissue Culture

Christmas Moss is one of the most sought-after aquarium, terrarium, and paludarium mosses due to its fluffy texture, bright green color, and easy care!

The Christmas Moss (Vesicularia montagnei, formerly known as V. dubyana) is a stunning and versatile aquatic moss named for its distinctive, fir-tree-like branching pattern, resembling tiny Christmas trees. This slow-growing moss is a favorite among aquascapers for its ability to create lush green carpets, drape over driftwood, or be attached to rocks, enhancing the natural beauty of any freshwater aquarium.

Grown in sterile tissue culture, this moss is 100% pest-free, disease-free, and algae-free, ensuring a clean and healthy start for your aquascape. Unlike traditionally grown moss, tissue culture specimens arrive with strong, young growth, ready to establish in your tank.
