Riccia Fluitans Invitro Aqua Fleur

Riccia fluitans (Crystalwort) – Invitro Aquarium Plant

Riccia fluitans, commonly known as Crystalwort, is a branching, moss-like plant valued for its bright green colour and delicate, textured appearance. It has no true roots, so it can either be left to float freely at the surface or tied to hardscape such as wood, rock, or mesh to create a lush green carpet effect — a popular technique in nature-style and Iwagumi aquascapes. Supplied in a 100% sterile invitro pot by Aquafleur, this plant is free from algae, pests, and snails, making it a safe choice for shrimp and delicate aquariums.

Under good lighting, Riccia is well known for the fine strings of oxygen bubbles it produces, adding movement and sparkle to the aquascape. When tied down, it benefits from regular trimming and reshaping, as the centre of a dense mat can die back if light doesn't reach it; separating and re-tying sections keeps growth healthy and full.

Invitro Cup:

• Each Cup has 6-8 plants in.
• Plug-and-Play: Each plant comes in a sealed, gel-filled cup, complete with its own nutrient-rich substrate. No more messy planting or troublesome algae issues. Just open the cup, rinse the gel off the roots, and plant directly in your substrate.
• Pristine and Pesticide-Free: Invitro plants are meticulously cultivated in a sterile laboratory environment, ensuring they are free of pests, diseases, and algae.
