About this plant

Give your aquarium a leafy surface canopy with Ruby Root Floaters. These Red Root Floaters add hanging-root texture and shelter above a planted freshwater scene.

Is this right for me?

A manageable plant option when you can provide the light and placement listed below. Follow the planting steps rather than burying every plant in gravel.

How to place and care for it

Leave the plants floating on the water surface. Remove some growth when needed so plants below still receive light.

Light and placement

Light: Low aquarium lighting. Place it: Floating on the surface. No extra CO2 needed. CO2 means carbon dioxide, a gas plants use to grow. Adding extra CO2 needs separate aquarium equipment.

What you get

One portion is approximately 4 fluid ounces.
