Red Root Floaters
Scientific Name: Phyllanthus Fluitans Red Root Floater
Common Names: Red Root Floaters
Red Root Floaters, scientifically known as Phyllanthus Fluitans, are prized for open aquariums, featuring slender stems and distinctively hairy, centrally arched floating leaves. Their reddish roots draw nutrients directly from the water, though they require careful maintenance, demanding specific lighting and water conditions along with additional fertilizer for optimal growth. Despite their water-repellent leaves, they're sensitive to dripping water, thriving best in open tanks with no lids. Enhanced lighting intensifies their red hue and accelerates growth, but they require harder water as light increases. Successful cultivation may yield rare white flowers and green fruits, rewarding enthusiasts. Maintaining constant high humidity, low-flow water and regular fertilization with trace elements sustains their robust growth, ensuring their vitality in aquarium settings.

Very healthy plants and, so far, are doing amazing.
Not sure what the fault lays but I did notice my package sitting in a wear house for 4-5 days before being shipped but the ones I received are dead
Thriving and multiplying
Plants were in great shape. I know how hard it is to ship floating plants, but they are doing great and growing quickly.
Great quality, exactly as expected.
Fantastic!! Super healthy and green. No dying leaves or brown spots. No critters. Packaged excellently. Several plants included, and with lush hanging roots for fry to hide in! Highly recommend this shop for any plants! Great!
Tough plant to mail. They came packaged well and roots are good length I am happy with the service now it’s up to me to keep them alive. I haven’t had success with floaters but made adjustments so 🤞🤞
