Alternanthera Reineckii Mini - Submerged Grown Aquarium Live Plant -Buy2Get1Stem

Description

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.

Submerged
Submerged
plants are plant
grown
fully
under water level. Plants grow under water needs more care, clean environment,
sufficient
light and
nutrient
to keep it growing healthy. Since plant already in its submerged form, it won't need a long transition period like emerged grow plants and ready to grow when they are moved to another submerged environment.
Emerged
Emerged
plants, most widely sold on the market, means plant that grow above the water level.
Emerged
plant does not need much care and grow much faster. However,
emerged
growth is much different physically than submerged growth.
Plants grown emerged will often die back and look completely different when they grow back in their submersed form, which take weeks or even months.
Tissue Culture
Tissue culture is techniques used to grow plant under sterile conditions on a nutrient culture medium. Although plants looks great in vitro, the stems are weak and most likely melt when planting into aquarium due to environmental differences.
24 Hours Live Arrival Guarantee. If plants are dead/unhealthy(
