Alternanthera reineckii 'Lila'

The aquarium plant Alternanthera reineckii 'Lila' impresses with its distinctive coloration. The underside of the leaves displays a rich violet hue, while the upper side shines in shades ranging from wine red to deep red. Under optimal lighting conditions, the stems grow compactly with leaves positioned closely together. This slow-growing stem plant is well-suited for the midground of an aquarium. Regular trimming is necessary to keep the background plants unobstructed. A nutrient-rich substrate and adequate CO2 supply promote successful cultivation.
