Weeping moss is a fleshy, 1-3 cm tall hanging moss with teardrop-like bright green shoots. It is best attached to driftwood or roots, as its drooping growth pattern helps to create depth and contrast in the aquarium. 'Weeping' has low demands, is fast growing and should be pruned frequently with scissors to maintain an attractive shape. 

When moss has brown threads, it is not dead, it is just older growth that has been covered by new growth and has not received much light so does not contain chlorophyll, which gives it its green colouration. Once any brown threads are exposed to light, it will then begin to grow new strands and produce chlorophyll returning to its green colour .

Weeping moss can be easily propagated via division.
