AR 'Mini' - 5 Stems

Alternanthera reineckii ‘Mini’

Alternanthera reineckii ‘Mini’ (AR Mini) is a compact and vibrant red aquatic plant prized for its small leaves and dense growth pattern. Compared to the standard Alternanthera reineckii, this variety stays shorter and more compact, making it ideal for adding bold red coloration to the midground of planted aquariums.

With proper lighting, nutrients, and CO₂ supplementation, AR Mini develops deep red to burgundy tones that create strong contrast against green plants and hardscape. Regular trimming encourages bushier growth, allowing aquascapers to form dense, colorful clusters.

Care Tips

• Lighting: Medium to High (important for strong red coloration)

• CO₂: Recommended for compact growth and vibrant color

• Placement: Foreground to Midground

• Growth Rate: Moderate

• Propagation: Trim stems and replant the tops

Aquascaping Notes

AR Mini is widely used in nature-style and Dutch-style aquascapes as a colorful accent plant. Its compact size makes it especially suitable for nano tanks and detailed layouts, where its intense red color can become a striking focal point.

Please note that plant size, number of stems, and coloration may vary slightly as these are natural aquatic plants.
