Alternanthera reineckii 'Mini' In-Vitro

Alternanthera reineckii 'Mini' is a compact cultivar of the popular South American stem plant prized for its vivid pink-red to deep burgundy leaf colouration. The tissue culture format delivers young, sterile plantlets grown in laboratory conditions, completely free of algae, snails, and pest organisms. Under sufficient light it provides one of the most vibrant red accents available for planted aquariums, and the TC cup format ensures a clean, reliable start without the contamination risk of conventionally propagated specimens.

Light: Medium to high; red colouration intensifies significantly under stronger light. CO2: Beneficial; recommended for best colour and growth rate. Substrate: Nutrient-rich substrate; supplement with liquid fertiliser covering iron and macros. Planting: Rinse gel from TC cup; separate plantlets and plant stems 2–3 cm apart. Growth: Moderate; trim regularly to maintain bushy, compact form and prevent leggy growth.
