think its christmas moss
I found this moss in a small stream in Greece, it is some kind of water leaving variation of a moss that was growing outside of the water in a root of an oak tree.

Any ideas? have you seen something similar. It grow really well in a container in the window sill and has doubled in size.

*groan*
There are hundreds if not thousands of aquatic and semi-aquatic mosses worldwide...... why is Xmas moss the only thing that people know????
It may well be a Vesicularia sp., but can we get it into our heads that without knowledge of their biology and spore descriptions, exact ID of a moss is really a guessing game???
SOme plants are certainly pan-global in distribution, but I really really doubt that Greece shares many moss species with East ASia.
look nice! ship some over! however I also assume it will need cold water to do well []
why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.

It is not christmas mose for sure have lots of christmass moss here no comparison.
Let me put it in my tanks and see how it does I can then surely post some np at all
Hi freemann and Guys
I think its what we see in Sam Yick's tank here.
Just bought some of them at a very heart pain price! To me its beautiful and so just bite the bullet.
The unique part of this moss is that growth can be seen randomly along the frowns so that you wont get that triangular sharp in xmass moss.
Another pt is that the frowns will point upwards to the light and not hanging down like the normal mosses.
Let see how freemann grow them in his tank eventually.
Hope my judgments are correct.

That is very nice. Hope you can propagae enough to make a moss wall.

Hi juggler
Presently tied them to a piece of like tree-like driftwood.
Hopefully it can come out as a tree in my tank with the blessing from all algae not invading them!
I could remember my close killifish buddy (Timebomb) show me a webpage of a guy who found some moss found in a Greece (Timebomb, was it Greece??) river. On that page, the moss seems to be growing upwards, however we have no idea if that is the similar upward growing moss or now call the erect moss or called by the APD the Viragra moss. The erect moss we have here seem every much larger than the Christmas moss.

Try to tie it on a piece of driftwood and monitor if it grows upwards.
Budak, that’s a good one! We need people like you to tell us off when there is a need.

This look like uproot moss or so called erect moss
