Stoffels Vesiculaia ferriei Weeping Moss (Low Tech)
The Stoffels Vesicularia ferrieri ‘Weeping Moss’ is a highly decorative aquatic moss, prized for its cascading, downward-growing fronds that create a beautiful, draping effect. Its bright green, weeping appearance makes it a standout choice for aquascapers looking to add texture and depth to their tanks, particularly when attached to driftwood or rocks. Grown in-vitro, this moss is delivered free from pests, algae, and contaminants, ensuring a clean and healthy start for your aquarium.
Key Features:
- Weeping Growth Pattern: Weeping Moss is known for its downward-growing fronds, which resemble hanging vines or weeping branches, making it ideal for creating dramatic effects in aquascapes.
- Versatile Application: Perfect for attaching to hardscapes such as driftwood, rocks, or mesh, where it creates a natural, cascading look.
- In-Vitro Cultivation: Grown in sterile conditions, this moss is free from snails, algae, and pathogens, ensuring a clean introduction to your tank.
- Low Maintenance: Weeping Moss is easy to care for and thrives in a wide range of water conditions, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced aquarists.
Care Requirements:
- Lighting: Weeping Moss thrives in low to medium lighting, making it a great choice for low-tech setups. Higher lighting will encourage faster growth but is not necessary for healthy development.
- CO2: While CO2 supplementation is not required, adding CO2 can promote faster growth and a denser, fuller appearance.
- Water Parameters: This moss is highly adaptable, growing well in slightly acidic to neutral water with a pH range of 5.5-7.5 and temperatures between 18-28°C.
- Trimming: Regular trimming helps maintain the moss’s shape and encourages a denser, more compact growth pattern. Trimmed sections can be reattached to other hardscapes.
Planting Tips:
- Rinse the moss thoroughly to remove the nutrient gel before attaching it to rocks, driftwood, or mesh using thread or fishing line.
- Weeping Moss naturally anchors to hardscape surfaces over time, creating a cascading effect.
- Ensure gentle water flow to prevent debris buildup in the moss and maintain its vibrant green color.
