Riccia fluitans, also known as floating crystalwort or bladderwort, is a species of aquatic liverwort that is commonly used in freshwater aquariums. It is a floating plant that can be anchored to the substrate or allowed to float freely on the surface of the water.
Riccia fluitans is a fast-growing plant that requires high light intensity and CO2 supplementation to thrive. It is best propagated by breaking off small pieces of the plant and attaching them to a substrate or floating them on the water's surface.
In addition to its use in aquariums, Riccia fluitans has also been used for phytoremediation, or the use of plants to remove pollutants from water. Its ability to absorb excess nutrients and contaminants has been studied in polluted waterways, and it has been found to be effective in removing heavy metals and organic pollutants from water.
Overall, Riccia fluitans is a versatile plant that can be used for both aesthetic and environmental purposes in aquatic settings.
