Alternanthera Reineckii Mini
Scientific Name: Alternanthera reineckii ‘Mini’
Family: Amaranthaceae
Origin: South America
Height: 5-10 cm
Width: 5-15 cm

Description: Alternanthera reineckii ‘Mini’ is a popular and vibrant aquatic plant known for its compact size and striking red-pink hues. This smaller variant of the Alternanthera genus makes an ideal choice for the foreground of aquascapes, providing a burst of color and texture that contrasts well with greener plants. Due to its compact growth, it’s perfect for nano tanks or smaller aquariums.
This plant thrives under good lighting conditions, with moderate to high light intensity bringing out its deep red coloration. Supplementing with CO2 can help maintain its compact growth and vibrant color, although it can grow in lower CO2 setups with slower progress. Regular trimming is required to prevent it from growing too tall and to encourage denser growth.
Care Tips:
- Maintain consistent water parameters with a temperature between 22-28°C and a pH level of 5.5-7.5.
- Plant in nutrient-rich substrate to support its root system.
- Provide medium to high light to ensure bright colors and compact growth.
- Regularly trim to encourage a bushier appearance and prevent overcrowding.
Ideal Placement in Aquarium: Best suited for the foreground or midground in larger tanks, Alternanthera reineckii ‘Mini’ can be used to create stunning red carpets or small clusters that add a focal point in your aquascape. Its slow growth and vibrant colors make it a striking addition to a well-maintained planted tank.
