Description

This very decorative form of "Coral moss", also known as "Mini Pellia", is probably Riccardia graeffei. Its thallus branches are wider, shorter and softer than those of Riccardia sp. "chamedryfolia", with a deeper green shade. The branches are horizontal, delicately ramified and form dense cushions with a layered structure.

Riccardia species are not very demanding, however they look best with medium lighting, CO2 addition and a complete macro- and micronutrient supply. They should be placed into already cycled, well-running aquariums. Riccardia sp. "graeffei" attaches itself by rhizoids, like other Riccia species; it can be tied or glued to rock or wood, or simply squeezed into crevices of the hardscape. This liverwort is very brittle, but each small piece will grow. Old, big cushions should be trimmed in good time, otherwise they may become detached from the substrate.

This filigree liverwort is among the most attractive epiphytes for the hardscape. Its deeply green, finely textured cushions are an eyecatcher, in larger aquascapes as well as in nano tanks.

Riccardia sp. "graeffei" also grows in strong light. However, keeping the moss can become more difficult if the lighting is too strong.

Probably the most beautiful moss I've ever had

The moss not only looks very beautiful, it also grows quite fast. After one week the little moss pieces had almost doubled in volume. (read more)

Das wohl schönste Moos das ich je hatte

Das Moos sieht nicht nur sehr schön aus, es wächst auch ziemlich schnell.

Nach einer Woche haben die kleinen Moosstückchen ihr Volumen nahezu verdoppelt. Das Moos zerfällt beim Auspacken schnell in kleine Stückchen, welche sich aber mit Pflanzenkleber (Gel geht da am besten) sehr gut auf hardscape fixieren lassen.

Hatte 2 XXL-inVitobecher und habe damit im LIDO 200 Steine, Wurzeln und Rückwand beklebt. War nicht zu viel, ist nun aber auch schön präsent. Nach wenigen Tagen legt es ordentlich an Volumen zu (wie aufgeblasen) und dehnt sich nun in alle Richtungen aus. CO² hat hier sicher auch seinen Anteil dran.

Wie gesagt, ein wunderschönes Moss um Hardscape zu begrünen
