ALTERNANTHERA REINECKII 'PURPLE'
The bright purple underside of the leaves has given this variety its name. The surface of the leaves ranges from wine red to deep red. In good lighting, the shoots are very compact and the leaves are close together. Due to its very slow growth, this colorful stem plant is also suitable for intermediate soil. However, it should be cut back continuously so that the background plants are not obscured. A nutrient-rich substrate and a good CO2 supply ensure successful cultivation in the aquarium.
