About Red Melon
Red Melon is a live freshwater aquarium plant, grown and hand-selected by Shore Aquatic in South Florida. As a rhizome plant, it should be tied or glued to hardscape rather than buried — keep the rhizome above the substrate so it doesn't rot. Every plant ships as a healthy specimen with a live arrival guarantee.
