For best results, Christmas Moss should be attached to rocks, stones, or driftwood within the aquarium. Over time, it will develop roots and naturally adhere to these surfaces, creating a beautiful, natural aquascape. Like other types of moss, Christmas Moss adds a soft, textured look to the aquarium, making it a perfect choice for aquascaping.

        WHAT WE CAN'T GUARANTEE

        Even though our plants are very clean, but we can't guarantee they will be 100% pest-free because we cannot be responsible for your aquarium. Please use it at your own risk. We recommended all customers rinse the plants with clean water and quarantine them before use.

        However, plants in tissue culture will be 100% free from pests, algae and never have been contacting with any aquarium.

        1. Due to the nature of the product. We don't guarantee our plants will be pests free. ( snails, algae, hitchhikers )
        2. We don't guarantee our plants will be free of pesticides. We use homemade, organic pesticides in our greenhouse to control pests. We do not use pesticides that contain copper. Copper is toxic to invertebrates such as aquatic snails, crabs, shrimps, etc
        3. We don't guarantee your aquarium success or are responsible for your aquarium inhabitant including but not limited to fish, shrimp, snail, turtle, etc. So please quarantine all plants when use!

        Healthy Plants

        Moss arrived healthy and looked exactly like it did in the picture. I got the ones in the bag. I didn't realize their would be 3 plants instead of one, but I would've split up a bigger plant for more coverage anyways, and these were the perfect size for using fishing line to attach to an aquarium decoration. The jelly was really easy to remove and the plants were easy to separate without too much tangling or tearing of the leaves or roots.

        Medium sized bag and a little browned but came back quickly

        Nice moss

        Ordered 2 cups which was enough to spread out on a few decorations (3 rocks and a fake log hideout). Secured with some fishing line so hopefully it'll latch on and spread out. Very healthy plant.
