Aquatic plants used in aquariums are intertwined with fish and maintain the biological balance of the environment as an integral part of the aquarium. They provide oxygen to the environment by taking in carbon dioxide in the water and the residues left by the fish with their roots. For these reasons, aquarium plants are not only considered as an aesthetically pleasing appearance, but also have a very important role in the storage, feeding and improvement of water quality. In this study, it was aimed for the rapid in vitro micropropagation of Hemianthus callitrichoides and Riccia fluitans species, which are among the most important ground plants in aquariums, at the lowest cost. According to the results obtained, it was observed that the both species were propagated very well in half strength basic nutrient medium containing 20 g/L sucrose. It was also found that plant growth regulators, which are among the most expensive compounds of nutrient media, are not needed for in vitro propagation of these species. In both species, high rates of in vitro micropropagation was achieved in a short period of 4 weeks. In vitro propagated plants were acclimated to aquariums at a 100% rate. Micropropagation methods we developed for Hemianthus callitrichoides and Riccia fluitans can be widely used for commercial production with an extremely low-cost.
