Description: Red Root Floaters Each Portion is 10 healthy nodes of red root floater, about 30-40 leaves. Red colors, healthy and strong root! Red root floaters (Phyllanthus fluitans) are beautiful floating plants commonly used in aquariums. Here's how you can care for them: Lighting: Red root floaters prefer moderate to high lighting. Place them in an aquarium where they can receive ample light. LED lights are often ideal for providing the right spectrum and intensity for plant growth. Water Parameters: These plants thrive in slightly acidic to neutral water conditions. Maintain a pH level between 6.0 and 7.5. The water temperature should be between 72°F and 82°F (22°C to 28°C). Good water circulation helps in nutrient distribution and prevents stagnation. Nutrients: Red root floaters absorb nutrients through their leaves and roots. They benefit from regular dosing of liquid fertilizers containing micronutrients like iron, potassium, and trace elements. If your tank has a low fish load, you may need to supplement with additional fertilizers. CO2 Injection: While not absolutely necessary, providing carbon dioxide (CO2) supplementation can enhance the growth and coloration of red root floaters. CO2 injection systems are available for planted aquarium setups. Pruning: Regular pruning helps to control the growth of red root floaters and prevent overcrowding in the aquarium. Trim excess growth to maintain the desired aesthetic and prevent shading of other plants. Water Quality: Regular water changes are essential to maintain good water quality. Aim for weekly water changes of around 20-30% to remove excess nutrients and waste products. Avoid Surface Agitation: Red root floaters prefer still or slow-moving water. Avoid strong surface agitation, which can dislodge the plants or inhibit their growth. Compatibility: Ensure compatibility with other aquarium inhabitants. Some fish may nibble on the roots or leaves of red root floaters, so choose tank mates carefully. Also, be mindful of their growth rate, as they can quickly cover the surface of the aquarium if not kept in check. Propagation: Red root floaters propagate by producing daughter plants that break off from the main plant. Simply remove these daughter plants and replant them elsewhere in the tank to propagate more floaters or share them with fellow aquarists.
