Miniature version of the well known Alternanthera. Characterized by compact growth and a slower growth rate. It is particularly suitable for small aquariums or makes a nice foreground centerpiece in larger aquariums. Frequent trimmings (keeping between 1″ – 3″) help to create a dense, red violet carpet. High light and the addition of co2 will improve the plants growth, color and overall appearance.
Comes in a 2″ round pot. Simply take off the pot, remove the rock wool and plant in your substrate.
