Alternanthera reineckii, also known as Scarlet Temple, is a striking addition to any aquarium, offering vibrant red-purple leaves that create contrast. Unlike many plants in its family, Alternanthera reineckii is relatively easy to care for, making it suitable for aquarists of all experience levels. While Alternanthera reineckii will thrive in most setups, providing a bit of extra care can result in thicker growth and even more vivid colors.
While Alternanthera reineckii plants can tolerate suboptimal conditions, they prefer soft, slightly acidic water with temperatures ranging from 68 to 82 °F. Additionally, Alternanthera reineckii exhibits more vibrant colors under intense lighting, although they can still thrive in moderate light. Keep in mind that Scarlet Temple plants are slow growers, so patience is key as they reach their maximum length of approximately 20 inches.
