Care Tips: Riccia fluitans is a versatile and vibrant green liverwort that can be used as a floating plant or attached to rocks and driftwood to form lush carpets. In tissue culture form, it arrives algae- and pest-free, ideal for starting clean in any aquascape. For best results, use fine mesh or thread to secure it to surfaces until it attaches naturally. Medium to high lighting is essential to maintain compact, dense growth. CO₂ injection greatly enhances its appearance and helps prevent detachment and excessive upward growth. Regular trimming is important to avoid floating breakaways and to keep the carpet tidy. When used as a floater, it provides excellent cover for fry and shrimp. A beautiful, fast-growing plant that adds a soft, natural texture to your aquascape.
