Tropica Vesicularia montagnei 'Christmas Moss' InVitro
100% sterile laboratory aquarium plants in sealed cup

Christmas Moss is an aquascaping classic – and rightly so:
Vesicularia montagnei ‘Christmas Moss’ grows in tiered, triangular shoots that resemble small fir branches. This makes it look particularly neat and "designed," without being artificial. On roots, stones, or as a moss cushion in the mid-ground, it creates depth, naturalness, and fine details.

It is also a real feel-good upgrade for many tank inhabitants: shrimp and juvenile fish use it as a hiding place, grazing area, and structural space. With regular care, it stays compact and clean.
