Scarlet Temple (Alternanthera Reineckii)

Available in different options:

• Bunch (4-6 collected stems, 4-8" tall)
• Potted (rooted and established, 4-6" tall)

A stunning and easy care plant, aside from it's higher light requirements. 'Alternanthera Reineckii' gets tall, so be sure to add it towards the back of your aquarium! Don't let any floaters block its light!

Bunch format: 4-6 collected stems, may be branched or rooted (4-8" tall). Grown EMERGED with high lights and CO2 for deep, rich coloring.

Potted format: Rooted and much more established than cut bunches (4-6" tall).

Highly recommend good lights and CO2 supplementation for most robust growth and color. You may even consider adding Iron supplementation and fertilizers. This plant fits right into a higher-tech aquarium!

Growing requirements:

• 65-80 Degrees Fahrenheit
• Ph 6-8
• High light intensity
• Grows quickly
• Gets leggier, and more green with lower light
• CO2 recommended for best color

As I like to keep real ecosystems in my aquariums, there's always the possibility of harmless snail or dwarf shrimp hitchhikers!
