The Phyllanthus Fluitans Red Root Floater stands out in any aquarium with its unique red roots and leaves that turn from light green to vivid red under high light. It's an easy-to-care-for plant that thrives in low-flow water, quickly forming dense mats on the water's surface. This plant not only adds visual appeal but also provides shade, helping to control algae growth in the tank.
