Riccia Tissue Culture

Riccia Tissue Culture is a versatile and popular aquatic moss known for its bright green, finely textured mats that create lush carpets or floating colonies in freshwater aquariums. Ideal for foreground areas or as a decorative floating plant, Riccia provides excellent cover and breeding grounds for small fish and shrimp. It thrives under moderate to high lighting and benefits greatly from CO₂ supplementation and nutrient-rich water for vigorous growth.
