PatrickB Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Hello! This plant caught my eye this afternoon at a local Petco, but no one had any idea what it was. Any help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingFishKeeper Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 (edited) Hi, not completely sure, but it looks like a scarlet temple due to the colour and the leaf shape. Either way it looks like a really good plant, I would probably just treat it like most other red plants if you can't get a good ID.

PatrickB Posted February 28, 2021 Author Share Posted February 28, 2021 Yeah that's what I was kind of thinking too, but it's got these seed pod type things at the roots of the stems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandy Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 (edited) I suspect it was grown emmersed....It is in the same family as amaranth, and those are indeed seed pods. Edited February 28, 2021 by Brandy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatrickB Posted February 28, 2021 Author Share Posted February 28, 2021 I think you're right, I'm going with Scarlet Temple. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Ellison Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 I'm pretty certain it's scarlet temple as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
