Description
Plant Profile
Show your aquarium some serious love with a seasonal piece that is guaranteed to steal hearts. We have carefully attached Christmas Moss around a durable, heart-shaped floating ring, paired with a hidden aquarium-safe substrate weight and a clear tether line to keep it floating perfectly upright in mid-water. Loved for its deep forest-green color and its signature frond-like, overlapping growth patterns that resemble pine tree branches, each heart wreath provides secure shelter where shy fish and dwarf shrimp can hide!
Key Features & Benefits
Upright floating heart design creates a striking mid-water portal and a stunning holiday centerpiece.
Adds instant three-dimensional depth and a playful swim-through channel to your tank layout with zero installation hassle.
The thick, cushiony moss frame forms a highly secure sanctuary that helps delicate shrimp, small fish, and tiny fry feel completely safe.
Care & Planting Instructions
Drop the pre-attached weighted anchor onto your substrate to let the heart float upright, adjusting the clear line length to set your perfect viewing depth.
Maintain a stable aquarium environment and avoid sudden, drastic changes to your water parameters to keep your moss looking vibrant and healthy.
Give the moss an occasional light haircut with sharp aquascaping shears to keep its shape neat, compact, and perfectly balanced.
Propagate your patch in seconds by saving the snipped moss pieces and tying or gluing them to hardscape elsewhere in your tank.
Add CO2 injection if you want to accelerate growth and unlock the most intense, eye-popping green coloration possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How do I keep my Heart Shaped Christmas Moss Wreath from turning brown or yellow?
Christmas Moss prefers clean, moving water and cooler temperatures (under 78°F). Browning usually occurs when organic debris gets trapped inside the dense fronds or when water temperatures run too high. Gently siphoning debris out during water changes will keep the inner growth green and healthy.
2. What is the best way to position the floating heart wreath in my tank?
The heart wreath comes equipped with a clear tether line and an aquarium-safe weight. Simply place the weight on your substrate (or hide it under your gravel layer) and adjust the line length so the heart hovers gracefully at your desired water depth.
3. How do I stop moss trimmings from spreading everywhere during maintenance?
Always turn off your filter pumps and powerheads before trimming moss. Use sharp curved shears to make clean cuts, and immediately scoop or siphon out floating cuttings so they don’t take root in unwanted areas of your aquarium.
