Alternanthera reineckii 'mini', also known as AR Mini, is a delightful foreground plant that adds a pop of bright red colour to any aquarium. This plant is a miniature variant of Alternanthera reineckii and is more compact and slower growing than its larger counterpart.

AR Mini is a fairly easy plant to keep, and it is less demanding than other red aquarium plants due to its slow growth. However, high lighting is essential to get the best colour from this plant. Trimming taller stems will encourage branching and bushier growth, making it ideal for aquascaping in smaller tanks.

This plant benefits from a nutrient-rich substrate and CO2 injection, which improves the growth rate and overall health of the plant. By providing these conditions, you can help ensure that your AR Mini stays healthy and vibrant.

If you are looking for a colourful and low-maintenance foreground plant that can thrive in a range of water conditions, Alternanthera reineckii 'mini' is an excellent choice. Its compact size and slower growth make it ideal for smaller tanks, and its striking red colour will provide a beautiful focal point in any aquarium.
