Monosolenium Tenerum (Pellia)
Monosolenium Tenerum – Broadleaf Liverwort for Naturalistic Aquascapes Monosolenium tenerum, commonly known as Pellia, is a unique and visually striking liverwort that offers a bold, textured presence in freshwater aquariums. Native to East Asia, Pellia forms broad, ribbon-like fronds—called thalli—that grow into dense, dark green mats, creating a soft yet substantial carpet across rocks, wood, or substrate. Unlike finer mosses and delicate liverworts, Pellia’s thicker structure adds dimension and depth to aquascapes, making it a favored choice for foreground or midground placement in nature-style layouts. It thrives in a wide range of tank conditions and requires very little maintenance, making it a practical and beautiful addition to any planted tank. 🌿 Key Features of Monosolenium Tenerum Scientific Name: Monosolenium tenerum Common Names: Pellia, Pellia Moss Growth Habit: Broad, ribbon-like fronds (up to 5 cm wide), forming low, bushy tufts Distinct Texture: Thicker and
