Weeping Moss (Vesicularia ferriei) is a popular type of aquarium moss known for its unique, creep-down growing pattern. Native to wet rocks, riverbanks, and moist soils along streams, Weeping Moss adds a lush, cascading effect to any aquascape.
Key Features:
- Growth Habit: This moss grows downward, creating a beautiful weeping effect that enhances the visual appeal of your aquarium.
- Attachment: Since Weeping Moss cannot root in the substrate, it must be attached to driftwood, rocks, or other objects. It uses rhizoids, not true roots, to naturally attach to surfaces.
Aquarium Benefits:
- Nutrient Absorption: Weeping Moss absorbs nutrients from the water column, making it easy to feed and maintain.
- Habitat Enhancement: Provides excellent hiding and breeding spots for fish and shrimp, contributing to a healthy and diverse aquarium ecosystem.
Care Instructions:
- Attachment: Secure Weeping Moss to driftwood or rocks using fishing line or cotton thread until it naturally adheres.
- Environment: It thrives in wet, moist conditions similar to its native habitat, ensuring robust and healthy growth.
Conclusion: Weeping Moss (Vesicularia ferriei) is an exceptional choice for aquarists looking to create a stunning, natural aquascape. Its unique weeping growth pattern, easy attachment, and nutrient absorption from the water column make it a favorite for enhancing the beauty and functionality of freshwater aquariums. Add Weeping Moss to your tank to enjoy its lush, cascading greenery and the habitat it provides for your aquatic inhabitants.

This was my first time ordering from this company, but everything came in, packaged beautifully and healthy. I left them in water for about a week before I could get to plant them on my driftwood. They lasted greatly and look great. Can’t wait to see they look like as they get larger.

Just want I was looking for

I have a history of struggling to get some tissue culture plants started. Although it has only be a few days so far the moss looks great. It was a pale but bright green on arrival and after just a couple days in my tank it is already developing a deeper more mature color. Very pleased with the moss and stem plants I ordered.

Because I have no idea how much plant I would get, so my guideline is the picture and I received them today. They were not in the cup, they were in the plastic and not much of them. The plants are healthy and the shipping on time but I was disappointed with the amount. It’s false advertisement.
W
I'm truly impressed by the quality produce I received. I've shopped at several aquatic suppliers but none can be compared to Aquarium Plants Supplies. This is the ideal place to shop.
G
Ordered a few different plants. They came within a few days looking incredibly healthy and in a great portion for the price. Definitely will be ordering my plants from here in the future! Surpassed my expectations for shipped plants.
