Product Description

Alternanthera reineckii var. ‘roseafolia’ is a very decorative “red” plant. Alternanthera reineckii has a bronze color on top of the leaf and the deep purple colored underside of the leaf. Alternanthera reineckii offers a nice contrast to the mostly green plants in an aquarium. Although most red aquarium plants are somewhat difficult to grow in an aquarium, Alternanthera reineckii is relatively easy. With adequate light and fertilizer Alternanthera reineckii grows vigorously and with good color and adding CO2 will make these plants bright red.

Arrived alive and healthy
4 Stars
Arrived alive and healthy
The packing was a sealed plastic bag (holds moisture well) and USPS delivered quickly through it went from west to east coast. The top of the leaves are GREEN so don't expect a fully violet plant. The underside is the violet-like color. A few more stems would make it a better deal (I got 7) so only 4 stars on value (shipping costs as much as the plant.) Waited 4 days before review and the plant still looks fully healthy so I feel this is a healthy bundle (75 F, drip fert, and CO2.)

Update: I ordered this again and it came in perfect condition. Very pleased with how well they handled everything. Will order from them again.
I got this and one other plant at the same time. I'm sure something happened during shipping. They are refunding me. Soon as it goes through I'm going to try to order again. I attached 2 photos. The first one is a few in my small plant tank for damaged plant parts. To help them if can be saved. Second photo is of the other peaces that I put in my fish tank but they look kinda wilted still but with no roots they won't stay in the plant base clay/rock bottom. I keep having to push them back down.Like I said I'm going to try to order again.
I'm hoping it will safely come through this time. The other one was a fern I believe. It looked great.
Ok refund went through. I'm ordering again, but I'm getting a multi pack with a variety and this one is in it. I will come back and let you know how it went.

 These beautiful aquatic plants came by US mail to NC from California..they lasted less than a week in clean treated aquarium with heat light and sunlamp..they were so pretty until the large leaves turned brown and floaters starting dying..I took my beta fish to another tank..I think they would work to order from a California resident so they don't travel so far by mail like here in NC mail.it is 39 degrees today and cold all last month..so unfortunately I had to get a refund..

Had to ask for a replacement; first plant melted back and never rooted and disintegrated within a few days. Second plant came and is in better shape, but it’s straight green, no red anywhere whatsoever. Hopefully it’s actually what I bought.

Beautiful plants!!!! I ordered a month ago and usps delivered to the wrong address. Contacted seller weeks later and they still made it right even though it was not their fault at all. Will definitely order from again when I need more plants. 10/10 will recommend!
