Alternanthera reineckii 'Mini' – Tissue Culture Aquarium Plant

Alternanthera reineckii 'Mini' is a compact red stem plant prized by aquascapers for its vibrant color and small leaf size. This variety stays shorter than standard Alternanthera reineckii, making it perfect for foreground to midground placement in planted aquariums. Under strong lighting and good nutrients, it develops beautiful deep red to burgundy leaves that create striking contrast against green aquatic plants.

This plant is produced through sterile tissue culture in our laboratory in Winnipeg,  ensuring a pest-free, algae-free, and snail-free plant that is safe for any aquarium, including shrimp tanks.
