Dennerle Plants Riccia fluitans CUP

Riccia fluitans was first cultivated as a submerged plant by Takashi Amano. Since then, it has inspired many aquascapers who prefer natural layouts with dense moss carpets on stones or roots. Under optimal conditions, many oxygen bubbles form on the tips of the leaves - a vital natural phenomenon. Young fish like to hide and rest between the delicate, decorative shoots. New shoots need to be pruned occasionally - please use moss shears!

• Light requirements: sunny to shady
• Temperature: 18 to 28 °C
• Water values: very soft to hard
• ph value: 5 to 8
• CO₂ and nutrient addition: recommended
• Propagation: division

Tip: After several weeks of acclimatisation, this plant should remain in a the chosen location where it can left undisturbed to grow. It will grow much faster with good light and the addition of sufficient CO₂ and nutrients.

Note: The plants are grown in-vitro in sterile conditions in a laboratory. They are therefore also suitable for sensitive animals such as dwarf shrimps and can be used immediately. In-vitro plants do not harbour pests such as snails or parasites. No pesticides are used.
