Christmas moss it is very similar to java moss tho it grows slower does not require any special attention just lots of patience. Its got its name by the shape of some of their leafs that resemble Christmas trees. It accepts all kinds of water. It grows best at 70 to 75 Fahrenheit (21 to 24 Celsius), but can live in temperatures of up to 85 to 90 F (29 to 32 °C). It makes a good foreground plant. In aquariums it should be planted where there is good water current because debris gets stuck on it easily and gives it a brown fuzzy appearance. Due to its clinging nature Christmas moss can also be made into a moss wall. This can be accomplished by folding a net and spreading the moss evenly across a net. Then, the net can be secured together by polyester strings, and held on the aquarium wall by using suction cups. It is a slow starter until it has established itself.
It is especially popular among raising fry (baby fish) and tadpoles, to protect them from adults. Christmas moss can also provide food for the newly formed fry, which can be challenging to feed. Some shrimp like to tear the miniature leaves off it to eat.
Christmas moss can be easily propagated via division. It is suitable for both aquariums and terrariums.

Tho we do our best to keep snails and other pets away from the plants and it is very rare for you to encounter any of those our plants the plants are not guarantee to be snail or pest free. There is a small possibility they contain algae, snails, worms and other invertebrates. Plants are grown in an aquatic nursery. There might be traces of the substrate they were grown in: dirt, mud, gravel etc. Plants might smell due to being in transit for several days. Stem plants are ship as cuttings without roots since this is the correct method of propagation. We only guarantee dead on arrival plants. We cant guarantee success with any live plants since we are not in control of the environment the plants will be place on,
Most orders are ship First class on a mailer bag or envelope inside a Ziploc bag in a paper towel to keep them moist. After being in the mail for several days plants might smell, have some form of discolorations (look yellow or brown) and drop some leafs due to the stress of shipping. All this is normal due to the fact the plants have been in the mail.
