{"product_id":"alternanthera-rieneckii-narrow-leaf","title":"Alternanthera Rieneckii Narrow Leaf","description":"\u003cp\u003eYou will receive a clump of 4–8 Alternanthera Reineckii Narrow Leaf stems, freshly harvested and packed to arrive healthy and ready to plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlternanthera Reineckii Narrow Leaf is one of the most coveted red stem plants in the aquascaping hobby. Its slender, lance-shaped leaves emerge in deep shades of pink, magenta, and burgundy — intensifying to a rich crimson under strong light. The narrow leaf form produces a more refined, elegant silhouette than standard AR varieties, making it a favorite for Nature Aquarium-style layouts where contrast and detail matter. Planted in groups, it creates a dramatic splash of warm color that draws the eye and anchors a composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e✦ What you're getting\u003cbr\u003eEach clump contains 4–8 individual stems, providing immediate visual impact and enough material to establish a strong mid-ground grouping. Stems are grown emersed, arriving with developed roots that anchor quickly and adapt to submersed conditions with vigor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e✦ Care at a glance\u003cbr\u003e• Difficulty: Moderate\u003cbr\u003e• Lighting: High (color intensity is directly tied to light level)\u003cbr\u003e• CO₂: Recommended for best color and growth rate\u003cbr\u003e• Fertilizer: Nutrient-rich substrate or regular liquid dosing strongly recommended\u003cbr\u003e• Temperature: 72–82°F (22–28°C)\u003cbr\u003e• pH: 6.0–7.5\u003cbr\u003e• Placement: Mid to background; stunning as a focal grouping\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e✦ Color \u0026amp; performance notes\u003cbr\u003eAR Narrow Leaf is a rewarding plant but rewards good conditions. Under low light it will survive but lose much of its red coloration, shifting toward green. High light, CO₂, and consistent macro\/micro nutrient dosing unlock its full color potential — deep reds and magentas that photograph beautifully and stand out against green foreground plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e✦ Growth \u0026amp; propagation\u003cbr\u003eAR Narrow Leaf grows at a moderate pace. Trim the tops when stems reach your desired height and replant cuttings directly into the substrate — they root readily and maintain their color from the start. Regular trimming encourages bushy, dense growth and prevents the lower stems from becoming leggy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e✦ Shipping \u0026amp; live arrival\u003cbr\u003eAll plants are shipped with heat or cool packs as needed based on weather. I guarantee live arrival — if your plants arrive in poor condition, contact me with a photo within 24 hours of delivery and I will make it right.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oliver's Aquatics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48840310292699,"sku":null,"price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/9320\/0859\/files\/C27DEBC5-5774-4756-BD43-A2BEBF56CA6F.jpg?v=1781208930","url":"https:\/\/9utwjw-ps.myshopify.com\/products\/alternanthera-rieneckii-narrow-leaf","provider":"Oliver's Aquatics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
