Riccia Fluitans (Crystalwort) is a well-recognized floating plant, made popular by renowned aquascaper Takashi Amano. It can be grown free-floating, where it forms thick mats at the surface, or attached directly to driftwood and rocks. When grown attached, keep it trimmed or it will eventually grow upward and break free to float. It can also be grown as a foreground carpet when attached to stainless steel mesh and placed on the substrate.
