Vesicularia montagnei
This beautiful moss comes from the Sunda Islands of Indonesia. Commercially it is also known as „Christmas moss“. It takes its name from the overhanging branches that look like those of a Christmas tree. Undemanding and very easy to cultivate, and can be shaped via regular pruning. Like all mosses, V. montagnei grows well when attached to wood and rocks. This also makes it much easier to rearrange your hardscape any time you want.
