Mini Pellia is a type of liverwort terrestrial plant which has grown in popularity and demand over the past few years. It is a very versatile floating plant that can be attached to hardscape or left free floating. It can be grown under a wide range of aquarium conditions, recommended for breeders, beginners, and all. Pellia can be grown on driftwood, stones or any other decorations with a hard surface. Once established, this plant really tanks off and can grow to cover your aquarium. Like mosses, this plant provides excellent shade and coverage for shrimp and fish.

As with most mosses, it does better in water that is not too hot (78F or lower).
