❓ Frequently asked questions
Can I specify which species I want or don't want?
Unfortunately not — the composition is determined by our available stock at the time of shipment. This way, we always guarantee the freshest plants. If you want a specific species, please check our individual Alternanthera assortment.
Do I need CO₂ for these plants?
CO₂ is not strictly required but is highly recommended for the best colour and compact growth in most Alternanthera species.
My plants arrived yellow or wilted — is that normal?
Yes, this is transport stress and almost always temporary. Give the plants 1–2 weeks to acclimatise. For persistent problems, please contact us.
Are these plants suitable for a shrimp tank?
Yes, all Alternanthera species in our mix are shrimp-friendly.
