I picked up a few bunches of a plant labeled "Scarlet Temple" & its briiight purple! Found very few nuggets of info on Google & even those were questionable... I saw it listed as 3 or 4 different scientific names in totally different genus..'sz.... Anyhow, I dont know if it prefers to be planted or float free & would sure love to hear any other info you might know. Thx!
 
Thanks for the links. I see it says fine gravel is best, so I'll go ahead & plant it today. Why is there so little info out there about this plant? Its beautiful & I just got it at the local chain store, so it cant be rare or anything...
 
Bumpin it! I'll tell ya, this plant is gorgeous! The brightest pink I've ever seen in a plant! I hope it keeps doing well...
 
c02 will help it out too. wish I could afford c02 300-500 for a setup.
 
Im using Flourish Excel for Carbon, but I'm considering cheapy CO2... Havent had a need for it yet, though.
 
Yup. Thats where I got it. Hence my confusion when I couldn't find any good info... I knew it couldn't be rare or special if the big chain stores carry it.
