Frog bit (the perfect Floater)
NOTE: 1 portion size looks like the photos labeled "1 PORTION SIZE"
How would you like the perfect floating plant? A plant that doesn't take over like duckweed? A plant that you can easily remove if it is blocking out too much light?
A plant that has the most symmetrical from of any floating plant?
Say hello to Frog bit. What is it's scientific name? In the words of a great southern plant supplier... "Honey, it didn't come with a birth certificate." (We believe it's Limnobium laevigatum)
This is cool round little plant.
It has leaves that are around an inch in diameter. They are nearly perfect circles. Unlike a dwarf lily or a red tiger lotus these leaves have a thicker texture to them. They seem to be a bit more durable.
While I don't keep plant eating fish, I would guess these would hold up to plant eaters a tad better than a duckweed.
These would make a great edition to a tank that is suffering from an algae problem as they would be able to cover a decent amount of surface area in a small amount of time.
LIKE ALL FLOATING PLANTS... These have the "Aerial advantage" that is to say they can get more both more light and CO2 from the waters surface. (CO2 is easier to obtain form the atmosphere than in water, and the light- any light- doesn't need to penetrate any water at all)
What I like about this plant is how it stays as ONE unit and makes a "mini lily pad" setup for our smaller indoor setups.

Customer Reviews
I never realized how big frogbit were! They arrived in about 3 days and looked healthy overall. A few leaves had slight yellowing, but that’s completely okay they should bounce back soon. It was probably caused by the temperature during shipping. This was one of five plant orders I placed, and I’m happy with it so far
All but one of the frog bit was pale and dead, roots all fell off. One might make it
As always speedy delivery, healthy plants.
My frog bit came a little less than ideal, and they sent me more right away. Second batch arrived perfectly! Thank you so much.
It’s been in the 90s and all the plants arrived healthy. Frogbit, jungle Val and wisteria. I didn’t buy a cold pack but they included one in the order. I will order from Dustin again
