Red Root Floater
Posted by Kyla Amos on 9 Oct 2021I will come back with another review in a month or so. Received these this week - full to the brim cup. I am hopeful that they develop the pretty red roots shown, right now they aren't too pretty to look at through the glass - basic brownish roots. Plants seem healthy though. No instructions included, so I rinsed them, soaked in a bucket with the Hornwort I also received, with a little bit of Prime in the water. Then, threw them in the tanks.

Love the roots!
Posted by Micah A Alden on 13 Sep 2021I got these mostly for helping soak up excess nutrients in my low tech tank. But I am really in love with the look too! They are growing in nicely as well!

Unexpected joy
Posted by Jeremy Rivera on 10 Sep 2021I ordered three 4oz containers thinking the portions would be smaller. They were packed to the brim! I ended up giving some of the third cup to my cousin. The floaters came super healthy and colorful. They came clean as well. No hitchhikers. There are even tiny little flowers and buds in the floaters. 9 out of 10, would recommend to others. Thank you guys for exacerbating my FTS :-)

Red root floater
Posted by Heather on 18 Aug 2021Nice amount of plants for the price. They looked nice upon arrival. I think my 86• tank is too hot for them tho Koz I’m finding some brown leaves.
