floating spurge

Overview

Floating Spurge (Phyllanthus Fluitans) is a succulent aquatic plant native to the Caribbean and South America. The plant is an ideal choice for a fish tank, as it is reliable, hardy, and attractive. Its stems are tough and springy, allowing them to bob lightly on top of the water. Its bright green, round leaves yield masses of tiny yellow flowers, creating an attractive, compact and lush look. Floating Spurge can be grown in full sun or part shade, and does best in warm, tropical-type conditions. Regular pruning is helpful in keeping the plant contained and ensuring its beautiful shape.
