Alternanthera reineckii Mini TC

Alternanthera reineckii 'Mini' is a compact, low-growing cultivar of the popular red-pink Alternanthera. Its vivid magenta-red leaves provide spectacular colour contrast in aquascapes. Stays low and bushy under trimming, making it suitable as midground or even foreground use in high-tech setups. Tissue culture — algae and pest free.

Requires high lighting and CO2 for best colour and compact growth. Low light causes tall, leggy growth with faded colour. Supplement with iron-rich liquid fertiliser for vivid red colouration. Trim regularly to maintain a bushy shape. Propagate by replanting trimmed tops.
