Additional Information
A recently introduced aquarium moss from mainland China is the Weeping Moss. The fronds of this moss droop like the branches of a weeping willow tree. The overall leaf shape approach that of Christmas Moss, but the leaf is about half the size and is without an abruptly short and sharp apex.
It makes an amazing plant for your driftwood, rocks or moss walls (just tie it with fishing line). The weeping moss is really easy to grow and makes an ideal choice for the low maintenance tank. I kept some in a jar for over a year without problem.
