Floats at the surface on round, coin-sized leaves trailing crimson roots into the water column. Given strong light the leaf undersides and margins turn deep red as well, which is the reason most people buy it.

Super awesome and healthy plants!
All the plants that came in still seemed healthy, they have only been planted in the aquarium for about 2 days and the red root floaters are already showing new growth and turning red! The Java Ferns are also already attaching themselves to my lava rocks, can’t wait to see how it all looks when I can trim and replant to really fill everything in.

Already thriving!
Red root floaters have been in my tank for just over a week and are already producing new growth. Very happy with the quantity and quality of the product I received.
