Vesicularia montagnei Wood

Mangrove root with moss already rooted and grown on it, without string.

A specialty of Brazilian moss, 1-3 cm tall, called "Christmas tree moss" due to its lateral branching structure, which distinguishes it from the common Vesicularia dubyana and resembles the branches of a fir tree. It is more demanding than common Java moss and grows more slowly. It attaches easily to roots and rocks, and because it spreads in water, it requires pruning to maintain its attractive shape.
