I'm also very confident you can float Pogostemon Stellatus Octopus, but I have only ever planted it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have Pogostemon Stellatus Octopus planted in my tank so maybe when it grows a little larger I will cut some off and float it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JettsPapa Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Pearl weed does very well floating. It will form a dense mat that provides great hiding places for shrimp and fry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximus Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Lots of their floating plants are only sold in the retail store and not online. I wonder if many floaters just don't do well in a sealed bag, or something like guppy grass just falling apart too easily. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my experience putting them in rigid containers or adding air to the bag so they don't get crushed can help. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live pretty close to the retail store so maybe I'll go check it out! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah definitely do that if you're within a reasonable range. They will usually have red root floaters, guppy grass, stemmed ones you can float like mentioned here, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
