Riccia fluitans
Entity overview
For discovery, Riccia fluitans keeps floating growth behavior separate from floating placement metadata.
Structured classification connects the profile with genus Riccia, family Ricciaceae, order Marchantiales, and major group Angiosperms.

Care data interpretation
The aquarium care summary uses medium difficulty, medium light demand, and recommended CO2.
The plant profile allows for emersed growth.
Use with this data: Calculate suitable lighting.
Water parameter context
Aquarium range fields include temperature 20–27 °C, pH 5–7.5, KH 0–21 °dKH, and CO2 10–40 mg/L.
Useful next step: Estimate CO2 balance.
Nutrient range context
Nutrient-related values in this profile include nitrate 10–50 mg/L, phosphate 0.1–3 mg/L, potassium 5–30 mg/L, and iron 0.01–0.5 mg/L.
Planning tool: Calculate nutrient dosing.
Growth and use data
Growth comparison is based on width from 0 cm.
Propagation data lists cutting off daughter plants.
