This vibrant new Alternanthera cultivar came onto the market just a few years ago, and is a gorgeous foreground focal point. Its development is very similar to other varieties of Alternanthera when grown above water. However, when submerged, it keeps a compact, miniature size. Try planting it with a light green carpet of Hemianthus to create a bold color contrast in your aquascape. Alternanthera Reineckii requires very strong illumination.
An advantage that the culture cups provide is their many tiny plantlets that can be separated and spread throughout your aquascape, so you get a lot of value for the price.
Note: No international shipping available for this item.
Red cultivars tend to die back when planted in a tank, but should recover in a week or two with good lighting and CO2 dosing.
