Description
Alternanthera Reineckii 'Mini' is a popular aquatic plant known for its vibrant red and pink hues, making it a striking addition to any planted aquarium. This compact version of the Alternanthera Reineckii species is ideal for foreground and midground placement, where it creates a lush, colorful carpet effect.
The plant has small, elongated leaves that are typically deep red on the upper side with a slightly lighter, pinkish hue underneath. This color intensifies under high light conditions, making it a favorite among aquascapers who seek to add a splash of color to their tanks.
Alternanthera Reineckii 'Mini' grows slowly and remains relatively short, reaching a maximum height of about 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 inches). It's a demanding plant that requires good lighting, regular CO2 supplementation, and nutrient-rich substrate to thrive. Proper care will reward you with a dense, healthy growth that contrasts beautifully with the green hues of other aquatic plants.
This plant is often used in Dutch-style aquascapes or as a focal point in nature-inspired layouts, where its bright colors can stand out. Regular trimming is necessary to maintain its compact form and encourage bushier growth.
