1-2-GROW! Riccia fluitans

Please note that we do not necessarily stock all varieties of 1-2-Grow! and those that we do aren't necessary ordered in large quantity (more than 3/week) due to individual popularity and the limited shelf life of the tissue culture cups. If you need large quantities or notice that a variety you are interested in has not been in stock for more than 2 weeks, please feel free to contact us via email or phone and we will be happy to special order your desired quantities/varieties.

Japanese Takashi Amano has inspired many aquarium owners to keep the 1-5 cm tall cosmopolitic liverwort, Riccia fluitans, submerged. It can be kept down by tying it to a stone with a piece of fishing line, but new shoots always grow towards the surface, so it may be necessary to prune it with scissors. Riccia fluitans thrives best with added CO2 and in good growing conditions small oxygen bubbles form on the leaf tips. As a traditional floating plant it offers good protection for young fish.
