Enter Red Root Floaters! (Phyllanthus Fluitans)
Like Most floating plants.... Red Root floaters grow like CRAZY. (Floating plants get MORE light than regular plants and because they are ABOVE the water line get WAY more CO2...ala Super fast growth) How fast do red root floaters grow? They grow so fast USDA did a study and found them able to grow in the wild in south Florida.
So yes- this is an EASY PLANT.
10-15 leaves is a portions. Portion size is the first photo with the ruler.
These are RED PLANTS for us as we use this thing called the sun. Under lower light conditions these plants will turn a more green look. The RED comes with high light.
NO CO2 so special anything needed BUT LIGHT.
NOTE: We do our best not to ship this with any other pest plants but you might get a piece of Azolla accidentally in with it. LOOK OVER your plants before you put them in your tank.
THIS IS A STEAL for only $12.95. Buy them ONCE and soon you'll be passing them out to your friends with over flow!
Customer Reviews
Delivery - quick and well packaged, as usual. Quality - all very healthy, robust, deep reds, and gorgeous leaves.
Quantity - never chintzy, but MY GAWD! Had enough to beautify my target rescue tank, and add to the attempted murderess sorority tank. I’m in love! Changed the whole feel of Lucy’s lidless tank. What started out as a temp tank will remain a permanent one. Because who can live with only 2 tanks?!
So pretty, I love them! They arrived in excellent condition, and they are still thriving.
These came to me looking beautiful. The roots came in a vibrant red.
First off, I want to state clearly that the arrived in great condition, no complaints there. And when I first added them they looked great. But within a few weeks they all had died on me.
A bit of digging and it seems that you need calm/low flow water with these, and some say you need soft water. I have very hard water. I dosed with fertilizer and had plenty of light. My lid also might have been a culprit. I might try them later, but not with my current setup
Very happy! Arrived in good condition with nice long roots on a majority of the leaves
