The downward overhanging growing Weeping Moss is also called weeping moss, because its shape reminds of a weeping willow. Vesicularia ferriei is actually native to Southeast Asia. It can be used in the foreground as a creeping ground cover or with a middle ground on wood and stones. Sitting on top you can see the hanging growth very nice after some time. Weeping Moss looks a bit like the moss beards on the cypress trees in Florida's swamps.
Weeping moss has an enormous surface area. This is an excellent place for biofilms to settle. Shrimp graze on these biofilms with gusto, and filter bacteria find a very colonization-friendly surface here. Thus Weeping Moss indirectly improves the water quality. It provides ideal hiding places from predators for young shrimp.
Weeping moss does not grow as high as most other moss species, but every now and then it should be trimmed. Only the tips are trimmed a little (approx. 0.5-1 cm), so that the moss continues to grow bushy. one. The resulting short moss shoots can be reattached or simply glued on with super glue.
This Weeping Moss comes from the laboratory. It was grown as an InVitro plant free of harmful substances and germs. It is guaranteed to contain no pathogens, no algae, no parasites such as planaria, and no snails. Only the nutrient gel should be rinsed off before insertion.
