Dwarf scarlet temple
Measured underwater with an Apogee MQ-510at this plant’s position. Working ranges are practical reference figures, not biological thresholds. The full survey sets out how the number was taken and what it does not establish.
Compact stem; dense, slow, stays low relative to the standard form.
Midground, used as a color block against surrounding greens.
Pink to deep red. Responds to light, and to iron and nitrate availability.
General to the species. What this plant has actually done in this aquarium is recorded under observations.
Top and replant the crown; side shoots thicken the stand.
Nothing recorded specific to this plant in this aquarium yet. The scape is still growing in; observations are added when there is something specific to report rather than to fill the section.
Photograph pending. Planned: a current photograph at matched camera settings, repeated at intervals so color can be compared across time rather than described.
