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 fertilizationwith trace elements sustains their robust growth, ensuring their vitality in aquarium settings.

Great floating plants, sent a generous amount of them. The only floating plant I've managed to keep alive.
Great growing fast
They came to me in great condition and healthy. I split them up between my 3 tanks. They didn't do so good. I had my filters on low flow with diy floating plant corral so they'd have no agitation too. I do still have a couple in my 10g that seem to be doing ok with some duckweed friends. So hoping for the best. They are beautiful plants tho!
They came in good shape and are growing well
They look exactly like the photo no deceptive bright red floaters and then you get a pile of mush 😆 they loook like the picture which I think are very pretty in my low tech tank. Bright lime green with pink roots very nice
