We do our best to remove any visible hitch hikers from your plants before we ship but it is impossible to be 100% sure that we get everything.  If you're concerned about getting any potential hitch hikers we recommend rinsing your plants before adding them to your pond or aquarium.  You can also perform a 10-15 second dip of the plants in a solution of 1 part bleach to 20 parts water followed by thoroughly rinsing the plant.

Each order contains 100+ leaves.  See third picture for order size.

Red root floaters are a floating fern know for their unique red roots.  They are an easy plant that spreads quickly.  They do best in aquariums and ponds with low flow and if left alone can quickly cover the surface of the water.  Red root floaters provide great hiding spots for more timid fish.  They are also great for oxygenation and denitrification in your aquarium.  Higher light will cause leaves to take on a more red color and medium light will result in more green leaves.
