Alternanthera rosaefolia - Live Plant - Tissue Culture
Alternanthera rosaefolia grows best when fully submerged in aquariums, though it can also thrive in paludariums or humid, emerged conditions. This slow-growing plant requires bright lighting for optimal growth and coloration. Without adequate light, growth slows dramatically, and the lower leaves may drop over time. For best results, plant it in nutrient-rich fine gravel substrate, which supports healthy root development.
It thrives in a stable, slightly acidic to neutral pH range of 5.8 to 7.2 and moderate water hardness (4 to 12 dGH). While it can survive without CO2 supplementation, adding CO2 can significantly improve growth and boost its vibrant red coloration. It's especially helpful in high-light setups.
