Description

Never before offered: 4 great easy to grow red aquarium plants. 3 sprigs of each, 12 in all plus, some extras thrown in! 1 Alternanthera reineckii 'Purple' from South America is a lower light intensity need plant. It will form dark red to purple leaves. Stems grow to 15-40 cm. In open aquariums it grows easily to the water surface. Prune regularly to encourage bushy growth. Shortage of micronutrients results in pale leaves. Like other stem plants Alternanthera reineckii 'Purple' looks best in groups. Clippings will root. 2. Ludwigia repens �Red� This North American stem plant grows and turns red easy. Each stalk becomes 2-4 cm wide and 10-30 cm high. This sport from Ludwigia repens is slightly smaller than its parent plant making it ideal for Nano tanks. The plant willingly creates side shoots, but cutting increases the amount to create a beautiful intensely red bush. The cut-off shoots can be replanted and they quickly generate new roots. The plant becomes intensely red and grows better, when placed in high light. 3. Rotala rotundifolia from South-East Asia has long, thin leaves 2-3 cm wide and 15-30 long stems. Unlike other Rotala species it is relatively undemanding, although it needs good light to produce pink - red leaves. It forms side shoots willingly, becoming compact and bushy. This also means that it is hard for light to reach the lower leaves, so the plant should be pruned frequently. Also known as Rotala indica. Clippings will root. 4. Red Bamboo Persicaria sp. 'Kawagoeanum' This is a new and exciting plant that has a bamboo-like appearance with striking coloration. It is a rapid grower that is easily cultivated. Leaves can get up to approximately 3 inches in length. Though this sounds large, the plant can easily be used in medium-sized aquariums due to its tiered, bamboo-like growth pattern. This plant branches easily and, unlike other Polygonum species, does not grow extremely vertical. Adding iron as well as high light you cannot miss to attain beautiful red/magenta intense color leaves. This color gives way to an olive green as the light gets less intense. While this plant can take up nutrients from the substrate, water column nutrients are also readily used because it is a stem plant. Newer to the aquarium hobby, it is not usually found in stores. Because of its striking coloration, Polygonum sp. �Kawagoeanum� can be a great focal plant. Its height and branching habit, make it a perfect candidate for a background plant. The hobbyist should know that this plant will require regular maintenance due to its quick growth. Since Persicaria sp. �Kawagoeanum� naturally forms a dense branching bush, it is best suited for a naturalized aquascape rather than the neatly trimmed Dutch-style aquascapes. Clippings will root.
