'Nanjenshan' (Mayaka rosa) is a tertiary stem plant. It is native to Taiwan, where it occurs near the town of Nanjenshan, from which it takes its name. It is probably a natural hybrid of the round-leaved Rotala (Rotala rotundifolia) and Rotala wallichii. Both the stem and the leaves are light green in color. The tips of the stems may change color depending on growing conditions. It is characterized by its delicate structure. The leaves are whorled on the stem in groups of 3-6, up to 2 cm long and only 0.1-0.2 cm wide. It is described as moderately demanding. It tolerates temperatures between 20-28°C and likes soft to hard water. Optimum pH is between 6.0-7.0.Rotala sp. Nanjenshan' is a fairly demanding plant in terms of light conditions. Its best growth is ensured by bright and long lighting, even 12-14 hours per day. A symptom of insufficient light is a thin stem and a lighter color of the leaves, especially in the lower part. In extreme cases, the lack of light leads to the death of the plant. Therefore, it should not be planted too densely. It can grow in a variety of substrates.The CO₂ dosage and supplementation with nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus fertilizers is advisable. If the iron content is sufficiently high, the crowns will turn red. Rotala sp. "Nanjenshan" likes large water changes, up to ⅓ of the aquarium water volume. Due to the delicacy and small size of its leaves, it is particularly suitable for aquariums with small fish or for a general aquarium with young fish. Like any stem plant, it looks best in a group. Tall stems with small leaves tolerate regular pruning well. The resulting cuttings, inserted into the substrate every few inches, quickly form a striking green background for other plants and decorations. As a terrestrial plant, it blooms with single flowers.. Planting: The plant must be removed from the cup and thoroughly rinsed from the gel under running water. This is best done by placing the plant in a container of lukewarm water. Most of the gel will then fall off by itself. Divide the contents of the cup into 1-2 cm lumps and then place them at a small distance on the selected items..

The moss looks particularly attractive on natural stones, roots and other decorative elements.The delicate moss shoots can be attached to roots or stones and, over time, become firmly anchored to the surface. This allows you to create natural tree canopies, verdant rock formations or densely overgrown root structures.Christmas Moss requires only low to medium light levels and can be cultivated without additional CO₂ fertilisation. However, a consistent supply of nutrients and a moderate addition of CO₂ are beneficial for particularly dense and vigorous growth.Growth is moderate, although under favourable conditions the moss can develop into dense, branched mats. Occasional trimming helps to maintain the characteristic Christmas tree structure and prevents the lower layers of moss from receiving too little light.Christmas moss is also particularly interesting for shrimp aquariums. The fine branches offer dwarf shrimp and juvenile shrimp numerous hiding places. At the same time, biofilms and microorganisms can colonise the moss surfaces, which the shrimp enjoy grazing on.Aqua Art offers Vesicularia montagnei ‘Christmas Moss’ as an in vitro culture.

Its fir-tree-like, branched shoots are particularly well suited to creating small trees, overgrown rocks and natural woodland landscapes underwater.Attach small portions of Christmas moss to the upper branches of a slender aquarium root. Once the moss has taken root and spread out, it creates the impression of a small green tree crown.Christmas Moss looks particularly decorative when combined with light green ground cover plants, Bucephalandra, Anubias or compact ferns.The moss is also a lovely addition to shrimp aquariums. The densely branched shoots provide young shrimp with sheltered areas and additional surfaces on which they can search for food.It is better to trim the moss regularly and carefully rather than letting it grow too much. This preserves its characteristic Christmas tree structure and ensures the moss forms beautiful, dense clumps that last.
