Baka-Vesicularia dubyana (Java Moss)- Potion is available for pre-order – please confirm stock before ordering!
Vesicularia dubyana is widely distributed in the Asian tropics and is most frequently found in various moist to wet locations.
The moss grows emersed as well as submersed with a creeping or horizontal habit and looks a lot like "Christmas moss" (Vesicularia montagnei). However, its leaves are narrower, and it ramifies more irregularly. Its leaf cells are longer (over 3 times longer than wide).
The leaves of Taxiphyllum barbieri, which is often mistaken for V. dubyana, grow at more regular intervals at a sharper angle on the stem, and it doesn't ramify as densely; under weak light it tends to grow more threadlike. Vesicularia dubyana develops sporophytes (spore capsules) not only when growing emersed, but also under water in the aquarium Taxiphyllum barbieri doesn't.
