Riccia fluitans is one of aquascaping’s most iconic moss‑like plants — famously used by Takashi Amano to create lush, floating carpets of vibrant green. In Dennerle’s InVitro format, this Riccia arrives sterile, pest‑free, algae‑free, and ready to thrive in both low‑tech and high‑tech aquariums.
Its bright, oxygen‑rich growth creates a shimmering, pearl‑like effect under good lighting, making it a favorite for aquascapers who want movement, freshness, and a natural, meadow‑like texture.
Ultra‑bright green coloration — creates a fresh, lively look in any tank.
Pearling effect — produces visible oxygen bubbles under strong light.
Versatile use — can float, be tied to rocks/wood, or used as a foreground accent.
