{"product_id":"phyllanthus-fluitans-floating-aquarium-plant","title":"Phyllanthus fluitans Floating Aquarium Plant","description":"\u003cp\u003eA floating stem plant that spreads naturally across the water's surface, giving fish and fry shaded, sheltered cover while asking very little of the keeper. Its easy-going nature makes it a sound choice if you're new to growing aquatic plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePhyllanthus fluitans is a floating aquarium plant from the Phyllanthaceae family, closely related to Salvinia but set apart by a single leaf growing from each node rather than a paired leaf arrangement. It suits planted tanks where quick surface cover is wanted without added complexity, and its straightforward care needs make it a sensible pick for anyone new to growing aquatic plants. The dense carpet of heart-shaped leaves helps shade the water beneath it, giving fish and fry a sheltered spot near the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe leaves are water-repellent and heart-shaped, hiding the stem beneath them as the plant spreads. Under more intense lighting, expect the leaves to deepen from green toward brown; under softer light, they tend to stay greener. The plant can occasionally produce small white, six-petalled flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNative to South America, it's grown using sustainable cultivation methods in Denmark.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou receive a pack of three cups of Phyllanthus fluitans supplied in the 1-2-Grow! format, which is currently the only format offered for this species.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1-2-Grow!\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSouth America\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDifficulty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEasy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAquarium placement\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFast-growing and floating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"AquaticsHub","offers":[{"title":"1-2-Grow!
