## Questions & Answers

**Q: Whats the best water temperature for this plant?**
A: The tank should have good water quality with pH of 6.0-7.0, hardness of 3-8 dGH and temperature of 63-82 F. This miniature version of the well-known Alternanthera is characterized by compact growth and a slower growth rate. It is particularly suitable for small aquariums or as a foreground plant in larger aquascapes. By careful trimming can you create a dense, red-violet carpet approximately 5 to 10 cm high. High light intensity and addition of CO2 improves the plants growth and overall apperance.

**Q: can you tie this to driftwood?**
A: No, this stem plant need soil. To driftwood you can tie plants like Anubias, Java Fern, Bolbitis

**Q: brackish water?**
A: Are you asking if it grows in brackish water? I don't know. However, mine grew like Kudzo Weed in my fresh water aquarium. Many of its cuttings are now in other tanks...still growing well. I am a believer in frequent water changes, adequate CO2 and "hands out of the tank" at all times.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent plants, shipping, and service A+++
*by J***L on February 28, 2023*

I've ordered four times from these folks. The plants are top quality, and any issues I've had with shipping were promptly and politely resolved without question. I will continue to purchase with confidence from this vendor.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great red aquarium plant on Amazon
*by A***I on September 15, 2023*

Cute little plants, 6 individual clusters and bold red color, hope they grow in nicely

### ⭐ Melted
*by K***S on May 23, 2019*

They arrived healthy and looked beautiful, a nice amount of them. I added them to the tank and they melted back so intensely idk if they will ever recover. probably less than 20% of each plant still lives. I'll update if they recover. Tank specs are good and i've a better than average led light fixture, also used seacham flourish to no avail. I'm not sure why they reacted the way they did, but it was a waste of $15.
