Originating from South America, this iconic stem plant is easily one of the most popular red aquarium plants for freshwater tanks, and for good reason! Unlike many other notoriously difficult red aquarium plants, Alternanthera Reineckii is relatively forgiving, making it an excellent choice for intermediate aquascapers looking to level up their planted tank game.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhile Alternanthera Reineckii can grow in low light tanks, it really thrives under medium to high lighting and develops its most vibrant red coloration when provided with nutrient-rich substrate, regular fertilization, and CO₂ supplementation. While it can grow without injected CO₂, optimal conditions will encourage faster growth, fuller stems, and deeper red coloration.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTE: 1 portion is 1 bunch, which is around 3-4 stems\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInformation:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare: \u003c\/strong\u003eEasy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCO2:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not Required but highly recommended if you want brighter coloration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLighting Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low-Medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePropagation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stem Cuttings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMax Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12\"+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePreferred Fertilizer:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/osmocote-plus-root-tabs\" title=\"Osmocote Plus Root Tabs\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eRoot Tabs \u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Windy City Aquariums","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46141557440648,"sku":"WCA-PLANTS-ALT-REIN","price":6.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0301\/0196\/2888\/files\/AR_3.jpg?v=1782522654","url":"https:\/\/www.windycityaquariums.com\/products\/alternanthera-reineckii","provider":"Windy City Aquariums","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
