Description
Scarlet Temple Reineckii
Alternanthera Reineckii, also known as Scarlet Reineckii, is a red-stemmed plant that produces different leaf forms and multiple shades of color, ranging from olive-green to brownish on the surface of the leaf to red or pinkish on the underside.
Care & Maintenance
Scarlet Temple Reineckii is easy to care for if provided with proper conditions, which include good lighting, good substrate, and fertilization. Iron supplementation will help the plant maintain or produce a more intense red coloration.
- Minimum Lighting Required: High
- Temperature Range: 68-82°F
- Tank Placement: Midground-Background
In aquariums, consider planting A. Reineckii in small, well-spaced groups as their red coloration provides a good contrasting and focal point, especially against other green-colored plants.
Scarlet Temple Reineckii is also available potted.

Scarlet Temple
Posted by Teresa Johnson on 28 Dec 2021I love red and greens on a plant, I was so excited to see this plant still in good condition and ready to be planted...my fish didnt have a negative reaction to any of the plants I purchased from this company. I will definitely purchase more...maybe in bulk next time.

Lush and red
Posted by Leah Moser on 6 May 2021I had purchased some of this from a local aquatic store, and it was okay. Then I ordered two bunches from Modern Aquarium and WOW! The leaves were huge, lush, and the most gorgeous red. It's made my tank really come alive. It is a stunning background plant and my ember tetras love hiding out among it's big leaves.
