VIEW POLICY
Alternanthera Ficoidea 'Red' is a terrarium, vivarium, or bog plant that is sometimes used as aquatic plant decoration even though it's not a true aquatic plant. Under a proper environment, it can only be submerged for several months. After that, it should be grown emerged for a few months again so they can restore the energy they lose before it has the ability and strength to adapt and survive to underwater life for a period of time.
Because of the ability to survive underwater for a long period of time, a lot of hobbyists used this plant as an alternative for other true aquatic plants because they claimed it can survive or even grow a few inches taller and develop roots in their aquarium longer than some of the other true aquatic plants.
When grow emerged, above water. It should be kept in a consistently high humidity with wet soil. Especially when they are in the recovery stage or when their environment is changed from underwater to above water.
  • Sold as loose Fresh-cut Plants, Bunched plants, or Potted plants
  • Fresh-cut plants | approx. 6 stems, loose fresh-cut plants
  • Bunched plants | approx. 6 fresh-cut plants with foam, and lead weight

        WHAT WE CAN'T GUARANTEE

        Even though our plants are very clean, but we can't guarantee they will be 100% pest-free because we cannot be responsible for your aquarium. Please use it at your own risk. We recommended all customers rinse the plants with clean water and quarantine them before use.

        However, plants in tissue culture will be 100% free from pests, algae and never have been contacting with any aquarium.

        1. Due to the nature of the product. We don't guarantee our plants will be pests free. ( snails, algae, hitchhikers )
        2. We don't guarantee our plants will be free of pesticides. We use homemade, organic pesticides in our greenhouse to control pests. We do not use pesticides that contain copper. Copper is toxic to invertebrates such as aquatic snails, crabs, shrimps, etc

        Great cuttings

        These were a great purchase. They arrived very healthy with no obvious issues. Thick bundles of healthy vines. Just FYI these are bundled cuttings. They are very healthy and the packaging and delivery was great I have a large fully planted aquarium so I foresee no problems. No roots on the cuttings when received but they look healthy and happy. Would buy from here again.

        Awesome color grows fast

        Great plant. Low iron turns it green. Grows aerial roots that you can trim tops and propagate.

        Great plants

        Got these along with a few other plants. They were in excellent condition on arrival, even though they were a few days late (USPS delays since before christmas), and it was cold when they arrived. Great packaging and condition. There are also a lot of individual pcs in each bundle, great value. Looking great so far after a week in the tank, no melt.

        Beautiful and well packaged

        I can't wait for it the colors to be more vibrant but it looks heathy and strong! Newly planted, it adds a new dimension to my tank. Highly recommend for anyone who wants more color, but not too obnoxious.
