In the aquarium, Alternanthera reineckii “Mini”, is a relatively easy to care for plant that requires medium to high light and medium fertilization or CO2 supplementation for best and bright coloration. “Mini” is commonly used in Dutch style aquascapes and is great for adding a pop of color to small or large freshwater aquariums.
