Description
Alternanthera reineckii ‘Mini’ is a vibrant, compact stem plant that brings striking red and pink hues to the foreground or midground of your aquascape. This tissue culture version ensures a sterile, algae-free start, making it ideal for planted tanks where color contrast is key. Its small size and slow growth make it perfect for detailed aquascaping and nano layouts.
Care and Planting Directions
Rinse off the gel medium thoroughly, then separate into small plantlets before planting directly into nutrient-rich substrate using aquascaping tweezers. AR Mini does best with medium to high light, regular fertilization, and supplemental CO₂ for vibrant coloration and compact growth. Trim regularly to encourage dense, bushy form.
