Alternanthera reineckii var. 'roseafolia' is a very decorative "red" plant. Commonly know as Telanthera, of the Alternanthera sp. this one is an exemplary aquarium plant. Alternanthera reineckii has a bronze color on top of the leaf and the deep purple colored underside of the leaf.

Having it alive on arrival
I ordered just to give something back as a thank you for the videos. I was out of work for six months and your channels helped me get through that very stressful time, especially the Tank Talk podcast. Thank you and keep up the great work!
My plants have always came in great shape
When I got it I let it float in the tank for a couple hours as I was busy doing other things, then I took it out and took it out of the pots and trimmed the ends like I do all my plants and planted them and they have done nothing but continued to melt. I don't know why but this seems to be one plant that does not like my tank. I have many many other plants that are thriving but this one just seems to refuse too.
Everything was fine but shipping seemed a bit long for me but that was no problem with the condition of the plants I received
Just arrived and they look great....scarlet temple.......thanks John......was worth the wait......
Plants arrived in great shape and healthy.
The buying process was easy and painless. I got the plant in a week and It arrived in excellent condition. It looks beautiful in my 10 gallon shrimp tank. I will definitely be making more purchases from your company.
I got the Telanthera 1 week after I ordered it and it is gorgeous.. it is in my shrimp tank and it really makes rhe tank beautiful. Thank you for all that you do. Andy

Great looking plant, shipped very well, arrived quickly. KGT is an outstanding company in every way.
Excellent packaging as always! Very beautiful bright pink plant. I have had it a week now and it's still doing well. USPS is disappointing as always but because of the packaging the plant arrived in great shape. I have bought three different plants and three different types of snails from this company and every time it's been top-notch service.
The plant came packaged so well and is so healthy! I love it!
First time ordering from your store. I was more than satisfied with my order. Plants were well packed and plenty of stems to separate and plant or plant together. I know you guys from U tube channel when I was just getting started with hobby and happy to get started with good knowledge. Thumbs up. God bless
Plants arrived fast and packaged well. All are healthy and good portions received.
Shipping was fast and well packed. My wife never told me I received it so I didn’t open it up for almost a week. I was shocked when I opened the box and the plant still looked good! I put it in aquarium and all is good!
