Care Tips: Alternanthera variegatus is a colorful and eye-catching plant with variegated green, white, and pink leaves. It thrives in moderate to high lighting, which helps intensify the colors of the leaves. It benefits from a nutrient-rich substrate and can grow well with or without CO2 supplementation, though adding CO2 will encourage more vibrant growth. Alternanthera variegatus is best placed in the midground to background of an aquarium, where it will add a splash of color. Regular pruning will help maintain its compact form and prevent it from outgrowing the tank.
