Alternanthera Reineckii

Alternanthera Reineckii is favored among novices for its ease of cultivation. Unlike many red stem plants that demand high CO2 and micronutrient levels for vibrant hues, this species maintains its rich red coloration with minimal effort. However, insufficient nutrients and lighting may cause its leaves to transition to an orange tint. To optimize growth and coloration, it thrives in environments rich in nitrates and phosphates, benefiting from fertilizers to expedite growth and maintain vibrant hues.
