hi mzsunshine99, sorry i haven't any Christmas tree Moss, but what i know about it which i am sharing with you....
Christmas Tree Moss (Xmas Moss) is a very fast growing moss and can quickly take up a lot of the area within a tank. It is important to keep this moss trimmed and under control. This moss is also not available in some countries although it isn't hard to get your hands on through on-line retailers. Christmas Moss is categorized as a speciality plant.
Characteristics
Christmas Tree Moss tends to attach itself to items on the tank and will try to grow around and stay attached to items in the tank. A lot of aquarium enthusiasts like this moss because they can make moss walls and beds in their aquariums. This moss is referred to as Christmas Moss or Christmas Tree Moss because of the way it branches out. It tends to look similar to a Christmas tree.
Tank Requirements
Christmas moss requires a tank to have a PH level of +/- 0.5 so the range from 6.5-7.5 should be fine for growing this moss. The moss also prefers a colder tank which makes the ideal range of water temperature for the Christmas Moss between 68 and 78. In order to grow this moss you will need to have proper lighting, although you can get away with minimal lighting, and it is advised that you use a Co2 Reactor.
