AquaArt Alternanthera reineckii 'Mini'

This little red plant is a true rarity. It grows slowly and develops into a compact bushy perennial. It is perfect in the foreground and middle or in smaller aquariums. They are a much sought-after speciality, because lower aquatic plants usually remain green. It rewards regular pruning with dense, violet-reddish to brown-red carpets up to 5 cm tall. However, it requires a lot of light and additional CO2 is a must.

• Light requirements: very good to intense
• Optimum temperature: 4 to 30 °C
• Water values: 0 - 14°dKH / 0 - 30°dGH
• pH value: 5 to 7
• CO2 and nutrients: essential and recommended
• Propagation: cuttings, division, daughter plant separation

Note: The cups are grown in a lab. Aquatic plants from in vitro culture are sterile. They are therefore also suitable for sensitive animals such as dwarf shrimp and can be used immediately. In vitro plants do not harbour stowaways such as snails or parasites. No pesticides are used.
