Compact red — perfect for smaller tanks. Alternanthera reineckii 'Mini' is a dwarf cultivar that stays much shorter than the standard form, making it one of the few red plants suitable for foreground placement. Intense pink-red coloration under good light.
CO₂ and moderate to high light strongly recommended. Without them, it loses color and grows leggy. Slow growing — needs less trimming than standard A. reineckii.
Tissue culture — pest-free, algae-free, ready to plant.
🌱 First 30 days: Stems may appear thin initially. Trim and replant tops after 2 weeks to encourage bushy submersed growth.
✂️ Propagation: Trim and replant cuttings. Slow to root — allow 10–14 days. Moderate.
