Riccia Tissue Culture

Scientific name: Riccia fluitans
Trade name: Riccia
Difficulty: Moderate
A type of liverwort that can be used as a traditional floating plant or as a plant attached to rock, held to the substrate or used on driftwood.

In the Pisces Laboratory, Aquarium plants are cultivated using tissue-culture techniques in small pots of nutrient-rich, sterile, agar jelly. These little pots pack a lot of goodness in a small space and you will find multiple plants in each container. 

Before planting in your aquarium, gently wash off the jelly and carefully split the plants into a few pieces if desired.
