Red Root Floater

Red Root Floater (Phyllanthus fluitans)

Red Root Floater is a floating aquatic plant with small, rounded leaves that drift across the surface of the water. In bright light, the foliage can develop beautiful shades of red and copper, while the roots hang below in rich reddish tones that give the plant its name. It creates a natural, pond-like look in aquariums and helps soften the water’s surface.

It’s an easy aquatic plant that grows quickly under the right conditions.

Care Tips:
☀️ Light: Bright light for best color development
💧 Water: Keep floating on the water surface; do not submerge
🌫 Humidity: Prefers humid environments above the water surface
❄️ Temperature: Thrives in 70–82°F
🐾 Pet Friendly: Yes
⭐ Rare: Semi-Rare

Fun Fact:
The red roots aren't just for looks—they can provide shelter for small fish, shrimp, and fry in aquariums.
