Frog bit (the perfect Floater)
NOTE: A portion size you will receive when you order this plant is the photo with the yellow ruler.
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.

Almost everything was dead. Managed to save a couple of plants...maybe! Thanks but no thanks!!!
Got a ton of frogbit in one order, they’re already sending out roots pretty heavily. Tried to capture roots in this pic. Super healthy and great experience as always here!! Thank you Dustin and team!!!!
Initially I knew I wanted a floating plant but I wasn’t sure what kind. I liked how this looked like little lily pads. When it arrived, it was healthy and they sent a generous portion. I like it even more in person than in the pictures. So far, most of it seems to be thriving. It will be fun to watch it grow and spread.
I was pleasantly surprised by this awesome floater! There were only a few brown or dead frog bit that came in with the package delivery was fast and love the little instruction booklet that came with it. I will be ordering this again!
Thank you. Plants arrived in good shape. I will be ordering more from you!
