Riccia fluitans in cup

The plant can be tied to a stone with a piece of legion to keep it on the bottom, but the new sprouts always grow towards the surface, so it may be necessary to prun it with scissors.

Riccia fluitans thrives better with the addition of CO2 and in good conditions of growth are formed small oxygen bubbles on the tips of the leaves. As a traditional floating plant offers good protection for young fish.
