Red Root Floaters

Red Root Floaters (Phyllanthus fluitans) are vibrant floating plants prized for their striking red roots and lush foliage. Originating from South America, they feature round, glossy leaves that range in color from green to red under optimal conditions. These plants create a stunning contrast against the water’s surface and provide shade and shelter for aquarium inhabitants. Red Root Floaters are relatively easy to care for and can thrive in a wide range of water conditions. They reproduce by sending out runners that produce new plants, making them a great addition to natural-style aquariums. Regular removal of excess growth helps prevent overcrowding and maintain water quality.
