Description
Vesicularia ferriei Weeping Moss is a visually distinctive and sought-after aquarium moss producing gracefully downward-drooping or pendulous branches of small leaves that create a flowing, weeping effect on wood and rock. When attached to an elevated piece of driftwood or tree root, the drooping branches trail naturally downward in a way no other common aquarium moss replicates — a distinctive and natural-looking aquascape element.
It is an easy and tolerant moss growing without CO2 in low to medium light and adapting well to a broad range of water conditions. The characteristic weeping, drooping branch form is most pronounced and attractive on elevated hardscape where gravity allows the branches to trail freely. CO2 and medium light increase growth rate but are not required for the weeping form to develop.
Supplied as a Tropica 1-2-GROW! tissue culture cup, this plant arrives completely free from snails, pest algae, and pesticide residue. Rinse the gel and attach portions to the top of elevated wood or rock using thread or aquarium-safe glue. Suits aquariums from 20 litres upward — a unique and graceful weeping moss that is fully shrimp safe and outstanding in natural hardscape aquascape layouts.
Plant Sizes
The image of the plant you'll be receiving is just an example of what you can expect. Each plant is unique and may vary in size and shape, so it won't be an exact match to the photo. If we provide a size guide, keep in mind that it's just an estimate and that plants can vary in size depending on the time of year.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Tissue cultured plants are supplied young and grown in a sterile environment, so they arrive free from snails, algae and pesticide residue. They may look smaller on arrival, but each cup contains multiple plantlets designed to be divided and planted out, where they establish quickly with minimal melt and grow into place.
Customers praised this weeping moss for its excellent quality and fast growth. "Glued to rocks and looks amazing" with visible new growth within weeks. Shrimp love it, and it creates a beautiful trailing effect. Some noted the portion size is small, requiring multiple pots for larger coverage, though the moss can be separated into sections. Easy to attach to wood.
- Much better than I anticipated, glued to rocks and looks amazing. Shrimps love it!
- Surprised how quickly this has taken hold and is growing.
- The weeping moss looks fabulous now that it is growing.

Hello. I have bought this Tropica Vesicularia Ferriei 'Weeping' 1-2-GROW from Aqua Essentials and have put it on a nice piece of bog wood. It has started to grow, although slowly but it will look great once it covers the wood. It is a very long time since I have a planted aquarium as I have had African Cichlids and Saltwater fish but I am glad to be back with a planted aquarium. Aqua Essentials have supplied to me good quality plants and I shall definitely being getting more from them.
Thank You

Got the Weeping moss. Very good quality product and comes from Tropica brand. Positively recommend.

Not as rampant as some other mosses and needs to be mounted on narrower decor and clear of the bottom/sides to get the full weeping effect. Beautiful once it starts to establish. With care you can tease the moss apart into several sections that can each be tied in place to speed up colonisation.

I\'ve bought a couple of these now. The moss itself is very nice when it gets going. The plants arrived in good condition. Just be aware the pots are tiny and the amount of moss you receive in each one is nowhere near what the image shows. If you are planning on covering a lot of surface with these you will need a lot of pots (or patience).

Product Details
1. Grown in a laboratory
Tissue Cultured Plants are unique in so much as they are grown in a laboratory and not a greenhouse. As a result of this, a cast iron guarantee is offered which is 100% so snails and no pesticides.
2. How to handle them
They're a bit different from potted plants because they're grown in an agae solution that contains nutrients and hormones to encrougage plants to grow. Some agar is liquid, others are more solid depending on what the growers prefers. Regardless once they arrive with you, acclimatise to room temperature and then rinse under luke warm tap water. Then plant up.
3. Pot sizes
Nearly all TC pots are 5cm in diameter and the pots will range in fullness depending on many factors such as the natural growth speed of the plant and the time the grower has held them for. Sometimes the pots are exceptionally full and sometimes not so full - something we cannot control. But either way, they're still really good value when you look at the overall plant mass.
What makes Weeping Moss distinctive?
Its branches droop and trail downward rather than growing laterally or upward, creating a graceful weeping effect that is completely different from standard Java Moss and other horizontal-growing mosses.
How do I get the best weeping effect?
Attach the moss to the top or sides of elevated driftwood or tree roots where the branches can trail downward freely under gravity. The weeping effect is most pronounced on raised hardscape.
Does it need CO2?
No. It grows without CO2 in low to medium light and is suitable for low-tech aquariums.
Is it safe for shrimp tanks?
Yes. As a Tropica 1-2-GROW! tissue culture plant it arrives free from snails, algae, and pesticide residue — excellent for shrimp aquariums.
Does the weeping form stay in all conditions?
Yes. The downward drooping branch direction is an inherent characteristic maintained across a range of conditions. Elevated positioning simply allows the effect to be seen most clearly.

Lovely lotus about 8” high with good roots
Lovely healthy lotus about 8” high with good roots. Plenty of leave and after a week or so of being in the tank it’s kicking out new growth. Great quality and service from AquaEssentials as usual.

Ordered the 120l aquarium kit for a new setup we’d bought my dad for his retirement and I was blown away by the variety and quality of the items provided.
Everything was in perfect condition on arrival and, despite sourcing the wood locally, everything just worked around it.
My dad is over the moon with how it came out and the aquarium looks like it’s been established for a while already.
Highly recommend and would definitely shop here again

Ordered this as I didn’t want to have to start
Ordered this as I didn’t want to have to start from scratch. Firstly was very impressed with the care that the plant had received during packaging, arrived look fresh and healthy, put in my newly purchased betta tank and was immediately impressed. One week later still looking good and showing no signs of decline. Look to purchase more plants on wood it the near future. Would highly recommend.

Love it
Ive been wanting to plant my not so very planted shrimp tank up for months, and ive been trying to find the best plants to look nice (large in the back to smallest in the foreground) and i come across the scaped for you section. I am pretty much a novice at planting tanks as this is my first ever time doing it. Firstly id say that while this does come with a layout guide, it is only a guide and not a "how to" because it is only an image that is provided and nothing else. This isnt a bad thing of course because your tank is you own and you can do whatever you want with it. It took me about 2-3 hours to fully complete how i wanted it and set it up with the plants and after a few days of settling in looks so much better than i expected it. I love it and i think my shrimps do too :) - one thing to note i would say is if youre buying spider wood, make sure you weight it down or soak it for a long time before putting it in the tank as your first placement will most definitely float and cause some frustration. Id definitely buy this or another scaped for you option in the future if i wanted to do this again.

First time ordering plants online and I now have a permanent source. Not only cheaper but so much better than previous purchases I’ve made in store.
Can’t make a single complaint, next day delivery, great packaging no damage anything. And the moss balls are so tiny I love it. Can’t wait to add them to the tank.
They include little care sheets to figure out how to properly care for your plants if needed. Will be coming back when I’m ready to move forward with the next plants. Great company ☺️
