Alternanthera Reineckii "Regular"
This is a Hot Selling RED Plant. These look wow. BEST WE HAVE HAD IN AWHILE. Don't Mess around. If you have decent lights, NOW IS THE TIME FOR SOME RED! (Better Looking than the photos!)
You will get six stem of this plant. (They might not all be bound together as we are pulling out some monsters)
AGAIN- 6 Stems or MORE!
We've grown this underwater for over a month. They have roots and are awesome. Don't take my word for it, read the reviews.
This plant isn't quite as easy as Rotala, but it's close. (I like it more than Rotala as the leaves are thicker and wider) Think of it like a Ludwigia in terms of ease of keeping. It also has the little roots that run along the stems periodically so it can easily be trimmed down and replanted. Once it is established you will be impressed with its leaves red color. It is best used as a back ground or mid ground plant if you want to keep it trimmed.
Like many other bunch plants you top Alternanthera reineckii and plant the top to spread it out. We will send you between 5-7 stems. This is an awesome plant that may not be available for long. For those of you who jump at the opportunity to add this to your tank, you will not be disappointed.
