| "Healthy plants and good quantity for the price. The part I was most impressed with was the care taken with packaging the delivery. I’ve bought quite a few live plants online, but I’ve never seen someone package them this carefully before. The plants were healthy upon arrival and the seller even included a cute handmade paper crane. I will definitely return to this shop in the future. Thank you for taking the time to package the plants carefully!"

A stunning and easy care plant, aside from it's higher light requirements. 'Alternanthera Reineckii' gets tall, so be sure to add it towards the back of your aquarium! Don't let any floaters block its light!
Bunch format: 4-6 collected stems, may be branched or rooted (4-8" tall). Grown EMERGED with high lights and CO2 for deep, rich coloring.
Potted format: Rooted and much more established than cut bunches (4-6" tall).
Highly recommend good lights and CO2 supplementation for most robust growth and color. You may even consider adding Iron supplementation and fertilizers. This plant fits right into a higher-tech aquarium!
Growing requirements:
- 65-80 Degrees Fahrenheit
- Ph 6-8
- High light intensity
- Grows quickly
- Gets leggier, and more green with lower light
- CO2 recommended for best color
As I like to keep real ecosystems in my aquariums, there’s always a chance of harmless hitchhikers like snails or dwarf shrimp tagging along with your plants!
I personally keep several beneficial snail species in my tanks, including Colorful Ramshorns, Bronze Bladder and Pond Snails, Mini Rams, and Malaysian Trumpet Snails. These snails stay relatively small, help clean the aquarium, and do not eat healthy plants or cause harm. However, if you’d rather avoid any hitchhikers, I highly recommend checking out our blog on how to safely disinfect aquarium plants before adding them to your tank:

All plants are freshly snipped or harvested and packed right before shipment. I take great care in preparing every order and use methods that have consistently produced the best results over many years in the hobby. A lot of love goes into every package, so please don’t leave your plants sitting in a hot mailbox for too long 🙏
Thank you for looking, aqua friends! 💚
