Scarlet temple is a vibrant stem plant that is relatively easy to care for. It features pink to red colored leaves that really make it stand out amongst green aquarium plants. Given high lighting, deeper reds and purple tints can even be seen from this plant. 

Scarlet temple does well as a midground to background plant as it can be trimmed short or grown out a bit taller. Therefore, it also provides excellent cover for fish and shrimp.
