Alternanthera reineckii 'Mini'
Origin: South America (captive bred form)
Alternanthera reineckii 'Mini' is a compact dwarf form of the popular red Alternanthera, staying much shorter (5–10 cm) than the standard form. The vivid purple-red coloration under good light makes it ideal for foreground or midground positioning. Tissue culture form is pest-free.
High light and CO2 required for compact growth and vivid coloration. pH 5.5–7.0. Iron-rich fertilizer essential. Plant in small groups of 3–5 stems. Trim regularly to maintain bushy, compact form. Significantly more demanding than most beginner plants.
