Red Root Floater | Phyllanthus fluitans

Red Root Floaters Scientific Name:  Phyllanthus fluitans Common Names: Red Root Floaters Red Root Floaters, scientifically known as Phyllanthus fluitans, are prized for open top aquariums because of their 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... not the most ideal setup for betta fish. 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. Maintaining constant humidity, low-flow, and regular fertilization with trace elements sustains their growth. Caring for Red Root Floaters in Blackwater Aquariums Care: Ea
