This plant can be used both as a floating surface plant or as a substrate plant in aquariums and paludariums. Its lush, carpet-like growth provides excellent cover for fish and helps improve water quality by absorbing excess nutrients. Riccia fluitans is easy to care for and adapts well to a variety of water conditions, making it a popular choice among aquarists. While it can thrive without CO2 supplementation, providing it will promote healthier growth and denser mats. With moderate to high lighting, this plant flourishes, contributing to a vibrant and lively aquatic environment.
