READ ME: Our aquarium plants vary in growth forms and will require time to transition to submerged or emersed conditions. We do our best to clean and inspect all plants prior to shipping but do not guarantee them to be snail free unless tissue culture is purchased.

Tissue culture plants are cultivated in sterile lab settings ensuring your plant is free from pests, snails and algae! These are young specimen that are grown in emersed forms. Gel should always be removed prior to planting.

Live plants are susceptible to stress and damage from transit. - This may appear in the form of minimal melt, leaf loss, cosmetic damage, etc. Refunds or replacements will not be issued for plants with viable root systems or that die out of our care.

Riccia Fluitans, also known as Crystalwort, is a floating aquatic plant made popular by well known and respected nature aquarium master, Takashi Amano. He was the first individual to utilize this delicate plant as an epiphyte by attaching it to hardscape material such as stones and aquarium driftwood. Riccia Fluitans features a delicate texture and light green hue. It is well known for its extreme "pearling" or producing a large number of oxygen bubbles that looks beautiful underwater. Riccia Fluitans is commonly used for a carpet foreground aquatic plant in aquaria but has many uses.

Alternatively, it can also be attached to hardscape material or left floating. When attaching it, it's important to note that this particular aquatic plant will not self-attach, meaning it will need to be maintained consistently to prevent it from floating away. CO2 is not required for the growth of Riccia, but it does fare better when CO2 injection is added. Easy to cultivate, Riccia Fluitans will grow quickly if it likes the water it is in. Young fish fry and shrimp also benefit from its coverage and will gladly nestle within its foliage.
