Description

Riccia Fluitans

Common Name: Crystalwort

Riccia is a well-recognized floating plant, made popular by the renowned aquascaper Takashi Amano. It can be grown free-floating, where it can grow into thick mats at the surface of the water or attached directly onto driftwood and rocks. When grown attached, it is important to keep the plant trimmed otherwise it will eventually grow higher and become free-floating. This plantcan also be grown into a foreground when attached toa stainless steel mesh and placed directly onto the substrate.
