Red Root Floaters are exactly what their name says. Small light green plants that float on the surface and in the right conditions will develop a deep red color and super red roots. Low nitrates and high lights are the key to get the full red color out of these, otherwise they'll just stay light green. Still beautiful but not the same as

The red root floaters arrived dead and smelt awful. I put them in my tank to try and see if they would start up but they disintegrated by the next day. I emailed the customer service but they never reached back out.

I was very disappointed. I only received about 5 very tiny pieces and the roots were already rotting. They did not survive. I think you should send a couple almost mature plants when sending red roots. Just a thought.

I ordered three snails and the red root floaters. The snails are great, the floaters weren’t shipped. I sent an email and haven’t had a response.
