The Asian Monosolenium tenerum is an appealing liverwort, 2-5 cm high, which looks most like a giant Riccia that just remains at the base, where it forms cushions. It is a weak plant, and pieces break off easily, so it is best to put it in the aquarium attached to stones with fishing line or in little bunches among different plants, for example, Eleocharis. When Monosolenium has established itself, it is very undemanding.
