Alternanthera Reineckii, commonly known as Scarlet Temple, is a striking stem plant that brings brilliant red and magenta tones to freshwater aquascapes. The tops of the leaves show olive-green to bronze hues, while the undersides display a deep pink-to-purple coloration. To achieve the most intense red coloration and compact, bushy growth, provide moderate-to-high lighting, regular liquid fertilizer dosing, and iron-rich substrates.
Key benefits:
Vibrant Crimson Contrast: Delivers outstanding red and purple hues to break up the green in your aquascape.
Easy Propagation: Simply trim the top shoots and replant them in the substrate to expand your plant beds.
Shelter for Small Fish: The dense foliage provides excellent hiding spaces and security for dwarf shrimp and small fish fry.
Specifications:
Form: Bunched
Growth Rate: Medium
Placement: Midground to Background
Light Requirement: Medium to High
Co2 Requirement: Recommended for optimal color but not mandatory
Water type: Freshwater
Suggested use: Remove the lead weight or rubber band holding the bunch together. Separate the individual stems and plant them into a nutrient-rich substrate, placing them about an inch apart to allow light to reach the lower leaves.
What’s included: 1 x Bunched portion of Alternanthera Reineckii (Scarlet Temple)
