Add rich color and compact form to your aquascape with Alternanthera reineckii 'Mini'—a vibrant foreground or midground stem plant renowned for its deep red hues and low, bushy growth. Tissue culture plants are grown in sterile tissue culture that is 100% free of algae, pests, and snails.
Compact & Colorful: One of the smallest varieties of Alternanthera, ‘Mini’ displays deep red to burgundy foliage that intensifies under high light and CO₂.
Low-Growing Habit: Ideal for nano tanks, Dutch-style layouts, or as a bold contrast plant in the foreground or midground.
Sterile Tissue Culture: In-vitro grown for a pest-free, algae-free, and clean introduction to your aquascape.
Great for Carpeting: With trimming and patience, 'Mini' can form dense clusters or carpet-style layouts when spaced properly.
