Weeping Moss

Vesicularia ferriei

Family: Hypnaceae

Ask Finn

Weeping Moss is prized for the elegant downward-drooping habit of its fine fronds, which cascade gracefully off driftwood and rocks like a willow tree in miniature. This weeping growth pattern is most pronounced in moderate flow and makes it one of the most aesthetically distinct mosses for aquascaping. It is slightly slower growing than Java Moss but creates a more refined, delicate textural effect.
