Description: Red Root Floater Red Root Floaters (Phyllanthus fluitans) are stunning floating plants known for their vibrant red roots and attractive, round green leaves. These plants can add a splash of color and texture to any aquarium, creating a beautiful and dynamic aquascape. Red Root Floaters are relatively easy to care for and can provide valuable cover for fish and invertebrates. Planting and Placement Substrate: Red Root Floaters do not require a substrate as they float on the water's surface. Ensure they have enough space to spread out without being crowded by other plants or decorations. Light Requirements: These plants thrive in moderate to high lighting. Aim for 2 to 4 watts per gallon or an equivalent LED light setup. High lighting will enhance the red coloration of the roots and leaves. Ensure the light is evenly distributed across the tank to avoid shadows. Water Conditions: Temperature: Red Root Floaters prefer a temperature range between 70°F and 82°F. pH: They thrive in slightly acidic to neutral water, with a pH range of 6.5 to 7.5. Hardness: Soft to moderately hard water (2 to 12 dGH) is ideal for these plants. Maintenance Pruning: Red Root Floaters grow quickly and can cover the water surface if not controlled. Regularly remove excess plants to prevent them from blocking light to submerged plants and to maintain proper water circulation. Gently trim the roots and remove any dead or yellowing leaves. Fertilization: While Red Root Floaters can absorb nutrients from the water column, occasional supplementation with liquid fertilizers can promote healthier growth. Use a balanced liquid fertilizer designed for aquatic plants, following the manufacturer's recommended dosage. CO2 Requirements: Red Root Floaters do not require additional CO2 injection but will benefit from it, exhibiting faster growth and more vibrant coloration in high-tech setups. Propagation Red Root Floaters propagate easily through division. New plants form at the base of mature leaves. To propagate, gently separate these new plants from the parent plant and place them on the water's surface. They will quickly develop roots and leaves, establishing themselves as independent plants.
