Riccia fluitans is a lovely floating liverwort (also known as crystalwort) that may be found all around the world. This floating moss was popularised as an aquarium plant by Takashi Amano.
Cotton thread or net is typically used to tie it to rocks or driftwood, and it is quickly absorbed by new growth. This plant can also be used as a ground cover, forming a wonderful bright green lawn quickly. Riccia can be used as a floating plant to provide refuge for fry or shrimp. This plant’s adaptability, combined with its ease of growth, makes it a favorite among enthusiasts.
Maintain compact growth by trimming the light green branches with scissors every so often. CO₂ supplementation significantly increases growth.
Care Tips
- Trim the leaves and sculpt them into any design of your choosing.
- It grows best in tanks with low water flow; that is the habitat it’s generally found in.
Tissue culture plants are young aquatic plants that are developed in-vitro in aquatic plant propagation laboratories. This unique cultivation ensures these plants are devoid of undesired snails, algae, and pesticides, making them completely safe for even the most delicate fish and shrimp species. We offer a diverse range of tissue cultured aquarium plant varieties. Our cultures provide substantial planting portions, and when combined with high-quality fertilizers and CO₂ injection will grow into healthy aquatic plants. Just lower the root portion of the tissue culture's clump that needs to be planted directly into the soil until it is buried halfway into the aquatic soil.Plant Format
