Weeping Moss Pad - Vesicularia ferriei - 8x8 cm

Originally from Asia, Vesicularia ferriei is also known as "Weeping Moss". It owes its name to its hanging shoots, which remotely resemble fronds and are derived from the Englishweepingwillow. It has been known in the hobby for some time and is perfect for newcomers to the wet hobby due to its ease of care. Especially in the so-called aquascaping it is ideal for creating depth effects in the aquarium.

Although the Weeping Moss does not make many demands on its keeper, an optimal nutrient supply with micro and macro nutrients, such as NPK fertilizer, but also CO2, both we carry by the way also in the store as well as a good lighting is recommended. In low light, the growth of the moss can develop horizontally, otherwise it grows rather creeping.

The propagation of the Weeping Moss is done by daughter shoots, which are simply cut off, they can be attached to other decorations by sticking, tying on, but also simply stuck into cracks , on where they continue to grow. With their strong adhesive organs, they thereby colonize the substrate. The gaps in the mother plant grow together again quite soon. Especially for the design of small trees the Weeping Moss is very suitable. On these you will see your pets especially often, because shrimps like to eat the biofilm that develops on the moss, but young animals also use the moss for hiding. Our Weeping Moss is mounted on a grid , which you can easily place in the aquarium
