Scarlet temple is a vibrant stem plant that features pink- to red-colored leaves, making it really stand out amongst green aquarium plants. When given high lighting, deeper reds and purple tints can even be seen from this plant. It does well as a midground to background plant as it can be trimmed short or grown out a bit taller. 

1

Gorgeous Fuchsia Color

This eye-catching stem plant is highly sought after because of its deep, reddish-pink coloration. It thrives the best in a high tech planted tank with stronger lighting, CO2 gas, and Easy Green fertilizer. Once it gets tall enough, prune off the tops and replant them for easy propagation.

Plant Transition

Most aquatic plants are grown out of water at the farms. At our warehouse, we start the plant's transition so they can begin growing underwater leaves for you. You can speed up this conversion process at home by floating the stem plant at the surface until it grows new leaves and roots. It's your choice if you want to cut off the fading, older leaves or leave them.

How We Grow and Store Our Plants

We store all of our plants in aquariums with plenty of light and fertilizer to start converting their leaves. This picture is from our warehouse. Not all vendors store their plants in water; many store them out of water in bags straight from the farms. This is more time without light and doesn't give them a head start in growing underwater leaves.

We Include Heat Packs and Liners Free of Charge

We have a custom-developed algorithm to include heat packs and insulating plant liners as needed, based on the weather forecast from our warehouse to your shipping address. This helps keep plants at stable temperatures, both in hot and cold weather. Other vendors typically charge you at checkout for a heat pack. We include them when needed free of charge because it's our job to deliver our plants to your door healthy.

One Not So Good...

I ordered two of these and one arrived great, but the other one just fell apart when I pealed away it's wrapping. I have/do regularly order plants & other items from Co Op and this was the first time that I wasn't 💯 satisfied with my full order & I'm hoping this was just a one off with them... Outside of this one order & that one plant, I would strongly recommend Co Op & I'm sure I will buy more plants from them in the future & fingers 🤞that this was just an oops.

Follow up to red plants

Top notch customer service. Within minutes of me leaving a review regarding this plant. My review was just to say I can’t keep red plants alive. Their customer service immediately refunded me for this plant. This I didn’t expect. All other plants I have received are doing great. In fact 4 Java ferns showed up today and look fantastic. And another large order is being processed from them. Don’t let my difficulty with red plants stop you from ordering plants from them. You will be highly satisfied with the plants and customer service.

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.

Beautiful & healthy 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

High Light Requirements, Beautiful Color

I've struggled a little with this plant as it's not as "easy" as my others, but when I reached out to Aquarium Co-Op, per usual they went above and beyond with help and advice on how to get these plants thriving again. I re-planted them to the centers of my tanks to get more light and gave them more fertilizer and they're growing and deepening in color again!

Scarlet Temple melting

Although I have one aquarium (I have 3) where not all the plant melted, the majority has. So I'm waiting to see if it comes back. They arrived in great shape but after I removed the planting material, it went down hill.

Plant look great with lots of roots, lots of decaying leaves however and yellowing leaves

2 Week Update:
Plant has lots all its roots and is melting pretty bad. I use both Aquarium Coops root tabs and easy green in this tank. Not sure if it will come back. I have a Petco Alternanthera reineckii in another tank is doing great about 2 months old but it has never melted. I also just bought tissue culture AR “rosanervig” from Imagitarium and put it next to this plant (Coop’s AR) and compare the results. I will see if it will bounce back or if Imagitarium TC AR will do better. Star rating changes to 2.5 out of 5

Original:
The plant must be transitioning. It’s seem like it will recover well. Will be using easy green and root tabs

Packaged with love as usual

They are doing great

My Scarlet Temple is growing. Right now I have the mini lights that came with my aquarium kit and whatever comes in the window. I feel like I need to upgrade my light soon, but I’m happy with the way my plants are doing.

Scarlet temple

I ordered a bunch of plants that arrived faster then lightening. They were package beautiful. So well there wasn't even one broken stem. The scarlet temple is gorgeous, healthy and colorful. Thank you aquarium co-op. Its so nice to have color in the house when there is 5 feet of snow outside and they still arrived in perfect health. I will not buy plants anywhere else.

Beautiful!

I ordered a scarlet temple as part of my first order from the Co-Op. It arrived quickly, healthy, and with clear signs of health (roots on the stems, good coloration, and no ragged leaves). It looks healthier than some of the plants at my nearest LFS. It split up into 4 healthy stems. The picture is after 2 days in my tank. I've got a Co-Op light on the way already :)

Gorgeous Pink Plant!

It arrived in great condition! Very healthy and vibrant! Had enough stems to split it into 3 groupings for planting. Time will tell if my lighting can keep it this beautiful shade, but either way I’m happy with how pretty this plant is. So far no melt and growing steady.

Vibrant!

I just received this along with several other products and it was everything I'd hoped. The plant is very vibrant and a wonderful addition to my first tank. Shipping was fast and was very nicely packaged as well.

Scarlet Temple!!!

Shipped from Washington state to Long Island, NY in two days!!! That is amazing! She came out of the bag ruby red with some green leaves, incredibly healthy. Put her in a holding tank to let her acclimate to my water while still in her original pot. About a week later she went into a guppy tank, aqua soil covered in 2” layer of PFS. It’s been a week or so and she looks to be doing well. Fluval plant 3.0 at about 35% and CO2. At this point I only buy plants from aquarium co-op because they never fail me. I don’t even quarantine them anymore. With the exception of the occasional nerite egg never anything in the way of hitchhikers or disease.
