Alternanthera Reineckii ‘Roseafolia’ is a decorative “red” plant. This exemplary aquarium plant has a bronze color on the top of the leaf and a deep purple color underside of the leaf. It offers a nice contrast to the other green plants in an aquarium. Although most red aquarium plants are somewhat difficult to grow, Alternanthera reineckii is one of the easiest. With adequate light and fertilizer Alternanthera reineckii grows vigorously and with good color.
