Red Root Floater is a beautiful floating plant with light green leaves that can turn blood red under high light. What makes it unique are its blood-red roots, compared to the usual brown roots of other floaters. This small floating plant can grow into thick mats that cover the surface and block light from below — good for low-tech aquariums and paludariums, and useful for shading to help prevent algae growth. Prefers low flow and will not survive with a lot of surface agitation.
