BRIGHT RED BEST QUALITY

It came early, super healthy almost all of them float, their roots are long and strong, perfect for mine and your tank

Best Pyllanthus Fluitans on the market!!

These are the most beautiful floaters I have received and I have bought a few high priced thinking they would be above par. You know the saying "get what you pay for". Well, these are those!!! I loved what I got and more than what I expected. So much I'm ordering two more, but because I have a 40 gallon tank. I bought only one to see what I would get. After the four days of shipping I had absolutely no brown leaves and a big bunch of healthy red roots. I highly recommend this seller for Red Rotted Floaters!!

Beautiful, red, and healthy

Great plants, they arrived on time and look great. Not a single one was so much as wilted, and my little fishy appreciates the shade.

Premium 🔥🔥

More than I expected! BRIGHT RED roots and very healthy!! Will be ordering more ❤️

Lost of healthy, vibrant leaves!

It came with more than I was expecting, and they all look nice and healthy with good root systems. The fish already love them!

So happy!

The plants arrived quickly and are beautiful and healthy. Would totally buy again!

Excelent servuce atticed tonouertonrico in 2 days and they were amazing

Properly packed and arrived in great condition. Promptly shipped. Will shop with again. Thanks

Arrived looking a little sad from the journey, but within 12hrs of putting them in water they perked right up! Beautiful color, healthy-looking roots and leaves, and I've seen no trace of snails or other hitchhikers.

Best Red Root Floaters ever had delivered

Beautiful Red Root Floaters! Almost gave 4 stars because really I think I only got 40-50 leaves but they are so red and healthy I'm not mad! I've gotten them twice before from different sellers but the last were total mush and the ones before were mostly green. These are gorgeous red and log roots. Happy with this supplier!

Amazing plants!

Plant condition was perfect they were a little grown out the perfect size giving that pop of color in my tank as soon as I put it in! They were also healthy no dead plants here! They didn’t smell bad either. For the price I believe it was well worth it I got over 20 pieces. I’ll be buying more from this place!

Excellent

Excelente compra! Excelente calidad! Estoy bastante satisfecho con esta compra! Las plantas llegaron sanas y bonitas!

Very Impressed...

The Best! Arrived in amazing shape with super red roots about an inch long.

They all died after about two weeks

While the item was well packaged, it got delayed in shipping. As a result, some of the leaves were already dead when I got them, but overall looked well. However, all of them were dead within 2 weeks of putting them in my tank.

Stunning

These are the only ones that I have ever ordered that were actually healthy I was so happy with these that I ordered a second batch because they are beautiful and red and perfect. Everyone I've ever ordered from other companies are green with little tiny roots and generally they die these are stunning

Great Quality, Great Service, Great Value

Red Root Floaters are my favorite floating plant, AND THESE ARE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL RED ROOT FLOATERS I HAVE EVER SEEN!!! And the quantity was amazing for the price. They were well packaged and arrived days before the expected date. Very satisfied!

Lovable plants

Great quality! All plants arrived with great condition. The leaves are all beautiful red. Love it!

Good product

Fast delivery

Beautiful health floaters and thriving in my tank

Beautiful healthy floaters and thriving g in my tank

Excellent plants

I normally don’t leave reviews but since there isn’t many reviews on this and I took a chance I decided to leave a review for others, they came in pretty quick, in great health, all green, no snails or any parasites in sight, looked excellent, I’ve had them for a couple weeks now and haven’t had any die on me, they still are all alive and healthy. Definitely buy these if you’re looking for red root floaters!

Very healthy, nice size bunches.

Arrived packaged well. Beautiful healthy red roots, nice cluster sizes of 15+ leaves with a couple singles. Great buy. Have them mixed in with amazon frogbit and dwarf water lettuce.

Not Even Close to the Picture

I did not count individual "leaves" but there were about 7-8 plants. They were all alive and tiny. I thought from the picture that I would get lots of plants, but these would cover an area of about the palm of a man's hand, so if you want to fill the top of a tank, it would be hundreds and hundreds of dollars. Good product. Deceptive advertising.

Very good

Arrived packed well, looking good

Very Very Healthy

The red root floater they provide is A++ quality. Very beautiful and came with the vibrant red roots already which is very nice. Would recommend if you prefer quality. Will order more.
