Christmas (Xmas) moss
[edit] Description
When grown attached to an object it forms triangular fronds in the shape of Christmas or Fir trees. Very similar to Java moss, though not as hardly.
[edit] Environment Specifics
Prefers lower temperatures under 77°F (25°C)
[edit] Special notes
Java moss is often mis-sold as this plant. But Java moss leaves are far less closely packed together and regular than this species.
- Not currently sold by Tropica.
