Riccia fluitans, also known as Crystalwort, is a classic floating and carpeting plant admired for its vivid green colour and versatility. Originally popularized by aquascaping pioneer Takashi Amano, Riccia fluitans can be used as a floating mat or tied to hardscape for a lush, vibrant carpet effect. Its dense, oxygen-rich structure also provides an ideal environment for shrimp and fry. The Tropica 1-2-Grow! tissue culture cup offers a pest-free and algae-free version of this timeless aquascaping favourite.
