Christmas Moss Wreath
Plant Profile
Common Names: Xmas Moss, Vesicularia Montagnei
This Christmas Moss Wreath is ready to deck your aquascape out in style! We have meticulously wrapped classic, tree-like Christmas Moss around a floating ring, complete with a hidden aquarium-safe weight and clear tether line that keeps it standing upright in mid-water. Because aquarium moss is famously beginner-friendly and thrives on minimal attention, you do not need to be a seasoned expert to keep this festive piece looking lush all year round.
Key Features & Benefits
- The innovative weighted floating ring design allows the wreath to hover vertically anywhere in the water column to form a gorgeous underwater portal or open-ended cave.
- This low-maintenance setup provides unique mid-water structure and playful swim-through channels without forcing you to buy expensive equipment or re-stack your hardscape.
- The dense moss ring creates a highly secure, stress-free playground that encourages skittish fish and shrimp to come out into the open and flaunt their brightest colors.
Care & Planting Instructions
- Drop the weighted anchor onto your substrate to let the wreath float upright, adjusting the clear line length to set your perfect viewing height.
- Give the moss a light trim with sharp aquascaping shears occasionally to keep the circle looking clean, uniform, and beautifully manicured.
- Propagate your trimmings whenever you like by saving the snipped moss pieces and gluing or tying them down to driftwood elsewhere in your tank.
- Maintain stable aquarium water parameters and avoid sudden water chemistry changes to ensure the fronds stay healthy, vibrant, and rot-free.
- Enhance the wreath's long-term density by placing it under low to medium lighting, adding carbon dioxide injection if you want to accelerate its growth and boost color.
- Please research appropriately to ensure your plant thrives.
