Care Tips: Alternanthera rosaefolia is a striking aquatic plant known for its bright red to pinkish foliage, which adds a beautiful contrast to any aquarium. It thrives in moderate to high lighting, which enhances its vibrant colors. It benefits from a nutrient-rich substrate and can grow better with CO2 supplementation. The plant works well in the midground or background of aquariums due to its upright growth habit. Regular trimming will help maintain its compact form and prevent it from becoming too large. It also prefers slightly acidic to neutral water conditions.
