Product Description

Bring contrast to your planted aquarium with Stoffels Alternanthera Reineckii ‘Mini’. Its compact form and red foliage make it particularly effective among fresh green plants, helping define planting groups and draw attention to key areas of your layout.

Reaching approximately 15cm in height, this variety suits nano aquariums, tropical tanks and detailed aquascapes. Regular trimming encourages a fuller, bushier shape, allowing you to maintain a neat foreground accent or a colourful midground group.

Medium to bright lighting and CO₂ supplementation help the plant look its best. It can also be grown in suitably maintained paludariums, terrariums and vivariums. The in-vitro format provides clean planting material that can be separated into smaller portions when establishing your display.
