Description[edit]

When grown attached to an object it forms triangular fronds in the shape of Christmas or Fir trees. Very similar to Java moss, though not as hardy.

Special notes[edit]

Java moss is often mis-sold as this plant. But Java moss leaves are far less closely packed together and regular than this species.
