🌿 Ammannia senegalensis – Bold Stem Plant with Vibrant Red & Orange Tones

Ammannia senegalensis is a striking, fast-growing stem plant admired for its fiery red, copper, and orange hues. Native to West Africa, this species thrives in high-tech planted aquariums and brings intense coloration and vertical structure to any aquascape. Its narrow, pointed leaves grow in alternating pairs along sturdy stems, making it ideal for creating contrast against green backgrounds or anchoring the mid-to-background zones.

      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
      3. We don't guarantee your aquarium success or are responsible for your aquarium inhabitant including but not limited to fish, shrimp, snail, turtle, etc. So please quarantine all plants when use!
      4. Unless specific, we don't guarantee aquatic plants will be grow emerged or submerge.

      Please review your state's regulations on restricted plants, as we are committed to not shipping plants that are restricted in your area. Do not release any plants into the wild or waterways, as this can harm local ecosystems by introducing invasive species.

      Postal delays took its toll

      The 13 days it took to receive my order took its toll on my plants. To be honest tho, I was expecting straight mush in bags. While some of the leaves had started melting, the plants all in all were in amazing condition all due to proper packaging for shipping. Majority of plants were in decent shape. Pulled them out of package, left them in their bags until they came to room temperature, washed the plants(removing dead and or dying leaves) in Luke warm water then dropped them in my tank. Within hours the leaves had started to fan out after being stuck in the bags for so long. I actually feel bad for harassing APF staff about expectations of sludge in bags....when in reality the plants that were shipped obviously were very strong and healthy to withstand such a journey. Thanks APF. Plant customer for life.

      Nice plants 👌

      These never withstand shipping too well in my experience, no fault of APF. These type of plants ALWAYS drop leaves during transit, so my photos don't represent how great these will undoubtedly be once acclimated. Just a heads up about this for the uninitiated. Don't fret! As long as your water quality is up to snuff these guys WILL bounce back! 😁👍
