I recently added a Scarlet Temple to my tank, and it’s doing well overall. While a few leaves did start to melt initially, I think it’s just adjusting to my water parameters. I’ve just set up a CO2 system, so I’m hopeful that the plant will thrive and show even better growth with time. So far, it’s a great addition, and I look forward to watching it flourish!
I purchased this plant because I wanted a little more color in my aquarium. I have had very little melt. It has roots coming out like crazy! I did put a Root Tab down when I planted it but my Peppered Cory Catfish decided they wanted to eat it by up rooting the tab! lol...Never phased the plant. It just took off like crazy. I am using Easy Green so that is most likely helping it grow. Get this plant, you will not be disappointed! It is beautiful.
I love the scarlet temple. It gives that color along the black backdrop. It is doing well and it arrived very healthy and packaged well.
Still waiting for new growth, been a month now. Plant is still alive and giving it time. Color is nice contrast to the green .
Plant arrived healthy and is thriving in my tank. I love the color it adds to the tank.
Planted in my aquarium and it looks great.
my package was lost in the mail for several days in 110 degree heat. once i got my hands on it, the plant inside the insulated bag was boiling hot. i thought it was doomed. the bright, BRIGHT pink color shocked me and i thought it was done for. popped it in the tank anyway and nope, thats just its natural shade. better than i had imagined.
Scarlet Temple
I’ve bought this plant before from aquarium co-op but my pleco decided to redecorate my aquarium & ripped up most of my plants, unfortunately… i luckily had a friend w/a larger tank who took him in & I moved my aquarium from the bedroom to the living room, so I figured it was the perfect time to rescape it. It’s a work in progress, but I knew I needed this plant in my tank again. There’s some melting (normal) but not much & the stems are very healthy. I’m going to let it grow to the top & start planting the cuttings as well! They’ve grown already & it’s only been a week- I gave them plenty of aquarium co-op root tabs so they’re happy & so am I
Came quickly, appeared to be healthy, and it was hardy. Will order again!
