It attaches to driftwood and rocks. 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. *Most of our plants are grown emersed. (Roots in water, leaves/stems out of water). This means the plant will melt (shed its "air" grown leaves) when submerged in your aquarium and grow back its submerged growth. *Many plants have VERY different looks (leaf shape, size, and color) when comparing their Emerged growth compared to their Submerged growth. This is very common. When you submerge your plant in your aquarium, it will melt back (this does not mean it is dying or dead) and grow back it's submerged growth which is will resemble the picture used for this plant. WHY EMERSED GROWTH IS A GOOD THING: Plant farms that supply aquatic plants for commercial trade will choose to grow aquatic plants in emersed form if possible. This negates the need for CO2 management, and many emersed forms are more hardy (emersed growth have to grow sturdier structures to hold their own weight against gravity, while submerged forms have water to support their weight). Emersed forms are thus easier to grow, and easier to transport. Red Plants may need more iron (Fe) supplement than other plants to achieve their best look. Iron (Fe) is the mineral that causes the red to appear. Please research your plants and provide them the environment and nutrients they need to thrive.
