Vesicularia montagnei, commonly known as 'Christmas Moss', is an aquatic moss species originating from Brazil. It grows to a height of 3-5 cm and is characterized by its unique side branch structure resembling fir tree branches, which distinguishes it from ordinary Vesicularia dubyana. This moss readily attaches to roots and stones, making it a versatile choice for enhancing the aesthetics of freshwater aquariums. Due to its moderate growth rate, regular pruning is recommended to maintain its attractive shape.
