One 8oz Measuring Cup full of Low Tech Live Freshwater Aquarium Floating Plants. Just drop in and go!
Easy Water Lettuce floater mix to get your tanks started. One single 8 ounce measuring cup full of floaters is quite a bit! You'll get a mix of sizes ranging from 1/4" babies to fully rooted and budding mamas around 3-4".
THIS PLANT IS ILLEGAL IN THE FOLLOWING STATES: WISCONSIN, TEXAS & MISSISSIPPI.
PLEASE DO NOT ORDER IF YOU LIVE IN THESE STATES.
This is a random scoop I harvest right before shipping, so exact quantities of each size can't be guaranteed. I will ensure you get some of each, however. This is a great way to get lots of one variety without laying down too much cash.
I would guesstimate one cupful of floaters would be enough to cover half the surface of a standard ten gallon tank tightly. I really try to stuff that 8 oz cup.
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 :)
These are harvested and packed right before shipment. I'm very careful, and I use methods that have consistently gotten the best results over years. Lot of love going into this hobby. Please don't leave them in a mailbox, as they are not frost hardy, nor can they safely survive in a hot tin box in the summer.
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! 💚
