Potted Plant – Alternanthera Reineckii ‘Mini’
Alternanthera reineckii ‘Mini’ is a highly popular stem plant prized for its compact growth and striking red to purple coloration. Its vibrant tones add bold contrast to green aquascapes, making it a favorite choice for creating focal points or colorful foreground groupings.
This variety stays smaller than standard Alternanthera species, which makes it especially well-suited for nano tanks and intricate layouts. With strong lighting, CO₂, and nutrient-rich substrate, it develops rich, intense coloration and compact growth. Regular trimming encourages bushy, dense clusters that stand out beautifully in planted aquariums.
