Fresh Flor de Agua is a live aquatic plant that is always shipped with its roots intact. It is not fresh-cut herb material. Each unit is prepared so you can place the rooted plant back into water after delivery and continue caring for it as a living plant.

What You Receive

• Presentation: Live rooted aquatic plant
• Roots included: Yes — always
• Quantity: One rooted Flor de Agua plant per unit
• Condition: Fresh living plant
• Common name: Flor de Agua

Flor de Agua is a regional common name used for aquatic plants in Cuba and the Caribbean. Because the common name can refer to more than one botanical species, this listing keeps the traditional catalog name rather than assigning an unverified scientific name.

Place It in Water After Arrival

Open the package promptly after delivery and place the rooted plant directly into clean, still, non-chlorinated water. Flor de Agua is best acclimated to calm water, so avoid fountains, pumps, or setups with constant water circulation. Begin with partial sunlight or bright filtered light rather than sudden, intense full-day sun, especially immediately after shipping.

One Plant Can Gradually Become Several

Once established under suitable conditions, a rooted Flor de Agua plant may gradually produce additional plantlets or new plants. Over time, one established plant can become several. The rate of propagation varies with water quality, temperature, light, and how well the plant acclimates after shipping, so the speed and amount of new growth are not guaranteed.

Traditional Spiritual Use

Within some Caribbean and Afro-diasporic spiritual traditions, Flor de Agua is traditionally included in cleansing baths, omiero, devotional herbal preparations, and ritual plant work. Associations and preparation methods vary by lineage and practitioner. Traditional use does not guarantee a specific spiritual result.

Freshness & Natural Variation

Because this is a living plant, size, color, root length, fullness, and the number of leaves can vary naturally from plant to plant. Some temporary shipping stress can occur during transit. Place the plant in appropriate water promptly after arrival and allow it time to acclimate.

Environmental Responsibility

Keep Flor de Agua in a controlled container or appropriate private water setup. Do not release aquatic plants into canals, lakes, rivers, drainage systems, or other natural waterways. Check local rules before keeping or propagating aquatic plants in your area.
