⚠️ Level: Advanced — Alternanthera Reineckii 'Mini' requires a lot of light and CO₂ for the best color. Grows slower than other Alternanthera species.

✂️ Care

Lots of light and CO₂ are essential for compact, colorful growth. Due to its slower growth, this variant is ideal for those who want to trim less frequently. Liquid fertilizers like Sera Florena further enhance color intensity.

💡 Planting Tip

Thanks to its compact size, it's a good choice for the foreground of nano aquariums. Plant in groups of 5–7 stems for maximum color effect.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference from the regular Reineckii?
The Mini grows slower and stays more compact, which makes it suitable for the foreground of smaller aquariums.

Can I keep this plant without CO₂?

My plant arrived yellow or limp — is that normal?
Yes, this is transport stress and almost always temporary. Give the plant 1–2 weeks to acclimate. For persistent problems: contact us.
