Aloe-moss due to similarity in the appearance of the leaves named after the Aloe vera plant.
Aloina aloides, known as “common aloe-moss”, is a tiny dark green to reddish-brown moss measuring 2 – 5 mm in height. The rigid leaves form a rosette. Due to the similarity in the appearance of the leaves, aloe-moss was named after the Aloe vera plant. Compared to seed plants, mosses do not have roots and water transport systems. Instead, they absorb water directly into their leaves. Mosses can trap excess water and nutrients from the soil and air. MossCellTec™ is a technology that enables the largescale cultivation of moss cells in sterile conditions and in both a reproducible and sustainable way.
