We do our best to thoroughly clean and inspect all plants prior to shipment but cannot guarantee lead bunch or potted plants to be free from snails and/or algae. Not your thing? Please consider purchasing tissue culture aquarium plants! 

Tissue culture plants are cultivated in sterile lab settings ensuring your plant is free from pests, snails and algae! These are young specimen that are grown in emersed forms. Gel should always be removed prior to planting.

LIVE PLANTS ARE SUSCEPTIBLE TO STRESS AND DAMAGE FROM TRANSIT - This may appear in the form of minimal melt, leaf loss, cosmetic damage, etc. Refunds or replacements will not be issued for plants with viable root systems or that die out of our care.

Alternanthera Reineckii Lilacina is a long-time and well-known aquarium plant species in the planted tank hobby. Known for its bold coloration, this aquatic plant presents magenta hues with a purplish underside on its leaves. Originating from South America, this aquatic plant requires medium to high light levels along with a nutrient-dense aquarium soil and CO2 injection to produce a noticeable difference in appearance and obtain the desired look. When given optimal conditions, Alternanthera Reineckii Lilacina will reach and breach the water's surface with ease and potentially produce blooms that are a lovely sight to witness! AR Lilacina is well-suited for Dutch-style planted aquariums and is easily a top contender for aquarists who love color in a planted aquarium.
