Red Root Floaters

Description: Red Root Floaters Red Root Floaters, or Phyllanthus Fluitans, are an increasingly popular choice for aquarists seeking to add a unique and visually striking element to their freshwater tanks. This floating plant, native to South America, is not only admired for its aesthetic appeal but also for its ease of care and environmental benefits. The most distinctive feature of Red Root Floaters is their bright, blood-red roots, which stand out vividly against their light green leaves. These leaves can deepen to a rich red color when exposed to high lighting, creating a dramatic contrast. The plant forms dense mats that float on the water's surface, offering several advantages for the aquatic ecosystem. Firstly, these mats provide shade, reducing light penetration and thus helping to control algae growth in the aquarium. This shading effect also creates a more comfortable and secure environment for shy or light-sensitive aquatic life, such as certain fish and shrimp species. In terms of care, Red Root Floaters are relatively low-maintenance. They thrive in a range of water conditions, ideally with a pH between 6.5 and 7.5, and temperatures from 70 F to 82 F. They do not require a substrate, making them an excellent choice for open-top tanks and paludariums. While these plants are adaptable to various lighting conditions, their leaf and root coloration can vary significantly depending on the light intensity. Under high light, the leaves are likely to develop a more vivid red hue.
