Alternanthera reineckii ‘Pink’

Alternanthera reineckii ‘Pink’ – Buy in Sri Lanka from AquariumZone.LK

Alternanthera reineckii ‘Pink’ is a beautiful aquatic stem plant known for its attractive pink, reddish, and green foliage. Native to South America, this popular aquarium plant is an excellent choice for adding vibrant colour and contrast to planted aquariums and aquascapes. It grows naturally along riverbanks and in areas that experience seasonal flooding, making it one of the Alternanthera varieties suitable for growing fully submerged in an aquarium.

Also known in the aquarium trade as Alternanthera rosaefolia and Alternanthera ‘Rosa’, this variety is relatively easy to grow compared with some other red aquatic plants. It can survive under low lighting without additional CO₂ supplementation, although stronger lighting, adequate nutrients, and supplementary CO₂ can help it develop more intense colours and healthier growth.

With its colourful leaves and upright growth habit, Alternanthera reineckii ‘Pink’ works well as a midground or background plant, depending on aquarium size and trimming. Regular pruning helps maintain its shape and encourages bushier growth, making it a suitable option for hobbyists who want to create a colourful, natural-looking planted tank.
