Care Tips: Alternanthera sessilis is a relatively easy-to-care-for aquatic plant with vibrant green to reddish-purple leaves, depending on lighting and water conditions. It thrives in moderate to high lighting and a nutrient-rich substrate, and CO2 supplementation can encourage faster growth and more intense colors. This plant is well-suited for the midground to background of aquariums and can grow fairly tall, so regular trimming is recommended to keep it compact and bushy. It is a good choice for beginners looking to add color and texture to their tank without requiring too much maintenance.
