Overview:

Alternanthera reineckii ‘Mini’ is a compact version of the popular Alternanthera reineckii, valued for its rich red to pink foliage and low-growing habit. Supplied in an in-vitro cup, this plant is grown in sterile laboratory conditions, ensuring it is free from pests, algae, and snails.

Its smaller leaf size and slower growth make ‘Mini’ ideal for foreground or midground placement, where it adds vibrant colour without overpowering the aquascape. It works especially well as a colour accent among green carpeting or stem plants.

Care and Growth:

This plant prefers medium to high lighting and benefits greatly from CO₂ injection, which helps maintain its compact form and enhances leaf pigmentation. A nutrient-rich substrate and regular liquid fertilisation are important for healthy growth and strong colour development.

Propagation is easy: trim healthy stems and replant the cuttings into the substrate. With regular pruning, Alternanthera reineckii ‘Mini’ will form dense, bushy groupings.
