Care Tips: Alternanthera rosaefolia is a stunning stem plant prized for its vibrant pink to deep red leaves, which add a dramatic splash of color to planted aquariums. It requires medium to high lighting to maintain its rich coloration and compact form. CO₂ injection is highly recommended for optimal growth and vibrancy. Regular dosing of liquid fertilizers, especially those rich in iron, helps enhance its red hues. Trim frequently to encourage bushier growth and prevent it from overshadowing nearby plants. It’s ideal for midground to background placement and pairs beautifully with green or fine-textured plants for contrast. A nutrient-rich substrate will also support healthy root development and stability.
