Red root floaters
Posted by Domonique Gaudreau on 11 May 2021I was quite happy with my red root floaters from MA. They arrived healthy and look wonderful in my tank. The 4oz cups were completely filled and 2 worked perfectly to seed one side of my 14G tank in top water plants. I will continue to buy from here in the future.

So lovely
Posted by Leah Moser on 6 May 2021I have a lidless tank, and this is such a lovely addition. I think the red roots extending down into the tank make everything in the tank appear more lush. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because several of the leaves were brown, but I'm hoping with good light and nutrition the plants will begin to thrive and spread.

Loooong roots!
Posted by Cassandra on 3 May 2021Came with many roots and so many green leaves (i even got 3 that had blossoms!) Just be careful untangling the roots. I did lose a bit of roots during unboxing but all the leaves seem to be growing some roots back so thats nice!!

Phenomenal quality
Posted by James Weigle on 28 Apr 2021So beyond impressed with my purchase, everything in the shipment arrived healthy and happy (a day earlier than anticipated too). The red root floaters are stunning. And the cup was absolutely packed! I was not expecting so much. You certainly get your money’s worth. Thanks a ton. I will hands down be returning for more.

Arrived healthy
Posted by Mike Hunsicker on 24 Mar 2021Ordered 3 cups and all arrived in good shape with still some moisture in the cups. I followed the instructions including the dip which freaked me out a bit but I am trusting the process! All 3 cups went into quarantine tank and I can already see a bit of red on the roots. Can’t wait to see them acclimated and in the main display tank. For reference- my QT tank is a 10 gallon tank and the 3 cups filled out the top nicely.

Nice floating plants
Posted by Elena on 3 Mar 2021The shipment was fast and it was so fresh and well packaged, like it came from the next door store... Floaters are so cute and they look good in my tanks, can’t wait to see the roots grow long. Highly recommend to order !

I Failed These
Posted by Brandy Linden on 2 Feb 2021These are so pretty but I hadn't read enough on them before hand. My tank is only 29 gallons and the water moves quite a bit on top. After I read they didn't do well when water moves around a lot, I put them into a separate container with light to protect them until I came up with a way to protect them from the water movement. By the time I came up with something, which was a net wall basically, to keep them on one side of the tank in calm water, they died off. I'd really like to try these again some time if and when I put a pond in outside. I also was glad I bought a heater for the fish since these plants I read to better in warmer waters. Thanks!
