Dennerle Phyllanthus fluitans Plant-It

Originated from the American tropics, Phyllanthus fluitans is a floating plant part of the Phyllanthaceae family. This plant is also commonly known as Red Root Floater.

It is similar to the Salvinia, differentiated only by the mono leave structure on each node. The water repellent, heart shaped leaves hide the stem which can sometimes give life to white flowers with six petals. The more intense the light, the browner the leaves will become. Sustainably cultivated in Denmark.
