| "Oh my gosh what can I even say? Third time ordering and these plants are so gorgeous! They fill my plant top of a 10 gallon easily! They are so gorgeous and out of this world! I can not believe such gorgeous plants were available for such a low price. I try to always order from this seller because the plants are always wicked green! It’s absolutely gorgeous and I can not believe how ridiculously generous the seller is!"

One 4 oz Cup full of Low Tech Live Freshwater Aquarium Floating Plants. Just drop in and go!
Easy Floater mix to get your tanks started.
This listing is for one single 4 ounce cup full of mixed floaters.
You'll get a mix of Salvinia Minima, Giant Duckweed, Frogbit, Water Lettuce, and Red Rooted Floaters. Possibly a bonus sprig of Hygroryza Aristata.
This is a random scoop I harvest right before shipping, so exact quantities of each can't be guaranteed. I will ensure you get some of each type, however. This is a great way to get lots of variety without laying down too much cash.
These are grown with minimal fertilizer and average light/ room temperatures. They grow in my unheated, unfiltered Walstad tanks as well, so you know they are hardy! Do note, however, that you can expect stronger growth and brighter colors when they live under better light.
For reference, I have Nicrew SkyLEDs on ten gallon tanks. Temps fluctuate between 65F in the winter to 80F in the summer. I grow these in my personal happy community tanks with colorful guppies, snails, shrimp, and of course, lots of plants! If you'd absolutely rather not have snail hitchhikers, It would be best to look up how to do a preventative bleach dip on the interwebs :)
As I like to keep real ecosystems in my aquariums, there’s always a chance of harmless hitchhikers like snails or dwarf shrimp tagging along with your plants!
I personally keep several beneficial snail species in my tanks, including Colorful Ramshorns, Bronze Bladder and Pond Snails, Mini Rams, and Malaysian Trumpet Snails. These snails stay relatively small, help clean the aquarium, and do not eat healthy plants or cause harm. However, if you’d rather avoid any hitchhikers, I highly recommend checking out our blog on how to safely disinfect aquarium plants before adding them to your tank:
How to Bleach Dip Aquarium Plants Safely
All plants are freshly snipped or harvested and packed right before shipment. I take great care in preparing every order and use methods that have consistently produced the best results over many years in the hobby. A lot of love goes into every package, so please don’t leave your plants sitting in a hot mailbox for too long 🙏
Thank you for looking, aqua friends! 💚
