Tropica Alternanthera reineckii Pink

Tropica Alternanthera reineckii Pink (High Tech)

Tropica Alternanthera reineckii Pink is a vibrant and eye-catching stem plant known for its striking pink to red-violet hues, adding a bold splash of color to any aquascape. While similar in appearance to the popular ‘Mini’ variety, ‘Pink’ tends to grow slightly taller, making it ideal for midground placement in small tanks or foreground to midground use in larger layouts.

This variety features compact growth with a moderate to slow growth rate, allowing aquascapers to shape and maintain vibrant layouts with ease. With regular trimming, you can achieve a lush, bushy form that enhances contrast and structure in planted tanks.

For best results, high light intensity and CO₂ supplementation are recommended, which significantly enhance the plant’s color intensity and overall health.
