Vesicularia ferriei "Weeping" - Weeping Moss

The beautiful Vesicularia ferriei ‘Weeping’ is commonly known as Weeping Moss and comes from Asia. Reports suggest it was originally imported from China, and it is also distributed in the south of Japan. In the wild it grows on wet rocks, moist riverbanks and on wet soil near small streams. It gets its common name from the way it grows under water in a similar appearance to the formation of branches and leaves of the weeping willow tree. Weeping Moss used to be relatively rare in Europe and America but with the sustainable production levels now available it is relatively popular and an easy plant to find.

I bought Weeping Moss less than a year ago and it was not growing great on some wood so I removed it "completely." I do use a fertiliser but have no CO2 and I have a basic setup. A few months ago I noticed a microscopic green dot on the wood and to my surprise that dot is now growing with vigour as the Weeping Moss I thought was "removed" is making a come back and it's spreading!

[@TropicaAquariumPlants]

When you least expect it they come back 😅. Interesting!

[@marypaigeflynn4512]

Just beautiful!! I Hope to soon to try to CO2.. when I do..these are the types of beautiful mosses I would love to add to my Aquarium! Thank you George and Tropica for another lovely plant spotlight!! With Tropica all you need to do is add imagination and what beautiful aquascapes you can create! ♥️🐟🌱🌿

Thank you!

I just finished decorating a 60 cm wood root with this and it looks beautiful. I have a somewhat heavily planted aquarium, all plants from Tropica and they look amazing, even the Super Reds. I do not use CO2 gas, I use the equivalent of liquid carbon, I have fertile soil with root tabs and I occasionally (once or twice per week to minimize algae) add Tropica's Premium Fertiliser. My brand of choice.

[@AQUAddicted]

Beautiful moss. We keep it in our tanks for years. The structure is a bit more coarse than most other mosses which makes it a distinctive focal point on rocks or even better on thin branches.

[@user-pj8sh4qr6k]

Beautiful !RUSSIAN LIKE! 😊 👍

[@juli8vdberg562]

I have used your moss in my design and it is beautiful, best moss ever... If anyone here wants to add moss into their tanks, trust me and only buy Tropica given they are healthy, gorgeously green and grow fast... My experience with all other invitro moss is very bad, but not thid

Thank you Charlotte! It is always a pleasure to receive such positive feedback.

it is one of the Beauty Mosses. i like it very much. this and the Phönix Moss.

[@kikkolee]

Hi, can i ask why is my weeping moss not weeping but seems to be growing in an erected state? thank you in advance!

[@ibhuss6239]

What is the ideal temperature and pH level for weeping moss?

[@Jkay400x]

Will this plaint grow in sand? Can I place it in sand inside aquarium without co2?

[@TropicaAquariumPlants]

The lack of CO2 might be more limiting than the sand. It can technically be left floating so no problem with the sand.

[@dennisvanopstal7360]

I have Tropica Wheeping moss, from tissue culture and it grows almost as fast as my Java Moss in another tank. But just wont attach itself. And the tank is almost 6 months old now. Why is that ? I cant figure this out.

[@dennisvanopstal7360]

Nobody ? I have removed it completely from my tank. Ive got some saved in a jar and in a shrimptank. Heavily dissapointed ..

[@rjawaid]

I can never get this green color as in your video, my moss turns blackish dark, only tips are light colored. What am I doing wrong?

[@TropicaAquariumPlants]

Hi Rizwan. In our experience lighting can be a problem and overgrown moss covering the main carpet. Hard trimming should solve the issue but as for any aquarium, a multitude of factors can contribute to the issue. We hope you'll manage to find the right balance in yours!

[@StanTheObserver-lo8rx]

Tropica,You have no cultivars of Java moss that are weeping? Or any other trait such as compact,maybe even variegated? All these decades..no new sports of that very hardy and easy to grow moss?

[@MrBrojcile]

What type of glue is this?

[@TropicaAquariumPlants]

As long as it is non toxic and water resistant it is ok; most super glues fulfill those criteria.

I need quite some of it, but how to get them, is another mystery

[@TropicaAquariumPlants]

You can find our plants in shops all over the world (almost) tropica.com/en/find-dealers/

[@juli8vdberg562]

@@TropicaAquariumPlants I got them and what a quality, wow.... But guess what?! I can work at a Swiss horloge maker now after having spent hours to attach them one strain by the strain to the tranches of my Bonsai trees..... That they fall off as soon as you pick them, I didn't know... Nonetheless beautiful moss

[@theraystfc7556]

1:10 & 2:12 looks like a planaria worm?

[@Blck_Stallion]

Kinda look similar to java moss 🤔

[@TropicaAquariumPlants]

Yes, with bigger fronds and a distinctive drooping growth pattern that is unique to Weeping Moss. Most Vesicularia and Taxiphyllum genus share some similar characteristics.
