Stoffels Alternanthera reineckii ‘Red’ (Sessilis)

Alternanthera reineckii ‘Red’ (Sessilis) is characterized by its striking brown-red to cherry-red hues that adorn both the stems and the upper and lower surfaces of the leaves. To maximize these intense colors, adequate lighting and proper CO2 supply are necessary. The plant typically grows at an average rate, thus regular trimming of the stems every 6-8 weeks is recommended. In discus aquariums, it harmoniously complements sword plants, creating an attractive visual accent.
