Aquarium plant decor is a simple yet visually appealing combination of aquatic plant and recycled/reused aquarium-related accessories such as leftover aquarium pots, ceramics, filter foam mats, coco shells, driftwood and lava stone. By upcycling these pieces that are usually discarded, these unique pieces of planted aquarium decor have been created sustainably.
This 100% aquarium safe tank decor is covered in one of the most popular mosses, Christmas Moss! We recommend this decor for aquarists who are interested in creating hides or structural interest in the aquarium, terrarium, vivarium or paludarium. As long as sufficient humidity and access to water is readily available, this piece of aquarium decor is versatile and can be repurposed for a wide variety of planted crafts. Aquarium plant decor offers a quick and easy way to add live plants to a new planted aquarium or an existing setup. They also make great gifts for the beginner hobbyist!
Vesicularia Montagnei, more commonly known as Christmas Moss or X-mas Moss is arguably one of the most popular aquatic mosses commonly used in the planted aquarium hobby. Originating from Asia, Christmas Moss is closely related to Java Moss, another extremely popular aquatic moss, and is comparable in appearance with only slight differences in its fronds. Once established, Christmas Moss is a prolific grower and may require regular pruning to ensure it does not take over the aquarium. Manual removal is best, but if trimming is required, we recommend turning off filters and pumps to prevent the moss spreading to unwanted areas.

Aquarium plants can vary in growth form and may require time to transition to your aquarium environment, whether grown submerged or emersed. This transition period is a natural part of establishing healthy, long-term growth in planted aquariums.
From carpeting plants in the foreground to stem plants and larger species used in the midground or background, each plant offers a unique contribution to a balanced and natural aquascape. As plants adapt, it is normal to see minor changes such as leaf melt, color shifts, or new growth patterns as they settle into their new conditions.
We carefully inspect and prepare all live aquatic plants prior to shipping. While we do our best to minimize hitchhikers, we cannot guarantee plants to be completely pest or snail-free unless tissue culture options are selected.
Because live plants are perishable, some signs of transit stress may occur, including leaf loss or cosmetic damage. These are typically temporary and when when healthy roots are present, most plants will recover with proper care.

Tissue culture aquarium plants are grown in sterile, laboratory conditions, ensuring they are free from pests, algae, and snails. These young plants are cultivated in nutrient-rich gel and are grown in emersed form before being introduced into the aquarium.
Tissue culture plants are best for aquascapers looking for clean, controlled plant material, especially for shrimp tanks or sensitive setups. Before planting, the gel media should be gently removed, and the plant can be divided into smaller portions for planting.
With proper care, tissue culture plants transition quickly and establish into healthy submerged growth.
