Tropica Alternanthera reineckii 'Mini'

This Tropica Alternanthera reineckii 'Mini' dwarf variant produces compact leaves with vivid pink-to-red undersides, providing striking color contrast in planted layouts. It stays far shorter than standard Alternanthera reineckii, making it ideal as a foreground accent or low midground splash of color. CO2 injection and good nutrition intensify the red pigmentation dramatically.

Plant individual stems in nutrient-rich substrate. High lighting and CO2 injection are key to maintaining vivid red pigmentation — insufficient light causes the plant to remain green and grow leggy. Dose iron-rich comprehensive fertilizer regularly. Trim tops and replant for compact, bushy growth. An excellent red foreground accent for high-tech planted tanks.
