This Alternanthera reineckii variant, known as AR Rosaefolia, is a stunning aquatic plant that is sure to add a splash of colour to any aquarium. This particular variety of Alternanthera is known for its vibrant copper to red hues and its relatively easy maintenance compared to other aquatic Alternanthera varieties.

To fully bring out the red colouring of the plant, use strong lighting and a nutrient-rich substrate that is high in iron. Under optimal conditions, the entire plant will retain its vibrant red hue, creating a bold and striking visual statement in your aquarium.

However, even in less than ideal conditions, AR Rosaefolia can still offer a beautiful display. The undersides of the leaves will remain red, while the tops of the leaves turn a copper or bronze colour, providing a unique contrast that is just as visually appealing.

AR Rosaefolia grows quickly and can be trimmed regularly to maintain its desired size and shape. This plant is an excellent option for aquascaping and can be used in a wide variety of aquarium designs.

If you are looking to add some bold, eye-catching colour to your aquarium, Alternanthera reineckii (AR Rosaefolia) is an excellent choice.
