✂️ Care

Tie or glue Riccardia to wood or stone, or let it grow freely as a carpet in the foreground. The plant grows slowly but attaches firmly and slowly creeps over any substrate. CO₂ strongly promotes growth. Simply trim off excess clumps to prevent overgrowth. Suitable for shrimp aquariums without CO₂.

💡 Planter's Tip

Riccardia looks spectacular on bogwood or lava stone — the deep green, coral-shaped moss gives every aquascape a unique, natural look. Ideal for nano aquariums and shrimp aquariums.
