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.

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.
