Floaters and more
Posted by J on 18 Sep 2022Red root floaters came in good shape and are growing well. However, did get a ramshorn and pond snail in my order but they could have been from the duckweed I ordered from here as well. Also noticed today I got some hydra in my new tank with the floaters being the only thing I’ve introduced. So if you don’t mind those this could product should suffice, if you do then you should look elsewhere.

Growing nicely
Posted by Anne Simmons on 8 Sep 2022At first I wasn’t impressed. The plants arrived looking a bit dry and yellow. But after a week or two, they are perking up and developing nice thick roots.

Just like the appear
Posted by Kim Ferguson on 28 Aug 2022I bought these along with some other plants. The other plants were in great shape but the red root floaters were all dried up and I assumed they were dead. Called customer service and the asked that I give them a few days to see if they would come back. And boy did they come back. They grow so well I have to thin them out once a week.

Red Beauties more like it.
Posted by Dustin TheWind on 24 Aug 2022These bad boys are some lookers!! I got 8 clumps, a few pretty large, packed In the 4oz cup. Doesn’t sound like much but they are beautiful!! Excellent addition to break up the monotony of a duckweed carpet. No snails I’ve seen so far, good thing to rinse and soak for a few hours. Lots of little broken root hairs. Very few dying leaves. Mostly robust and lush leaves. Bright red roots. Seriously beautiful!! Some of the roots hang down many inches. Super pleased with the purchase!! Can’t wait to see them grow. Added bonus- I found two very small spangles with roots! Put them in as well and fingers crossed they make it. Very excited to watch it grow. Betta seems to love it so far.

Red root floaters
Posted by Emma Elinski on 19 Jul 2022I love them they really add color to my tanks. My fish also have been loving them. The only thing was that some of the leaves arrived a little dried out.

Red Root Floater - Copious and beautiful colors!
Posted by Joseph H on 14 Jul 2022I ordered for a 4oz cup and I was floored with how much I got! Really amazed to get that many floaters and I absolutely love how they look, I think over 99% are healthy and lush green! One of the floaters is already spreading its root deep in my aquarium, love it.
