The image of the plant you'll be receiving is just an example of what you can expect. Each plant is unique and may vary in size and shape, so it won't be an exact match to the photo. If we provide a size guide, keep in mind that it's just an estimate and that plants can vary in size depending on the time of year.

Alternanthera reineckii mini is a beautiful new South American foreground plant. With its red stems and green-topped leaves, it really does add that touch of colour and contrast that we all want in our aquariums.
Planted as the centrepiece in a nano tank or in a small group in a larger tank it will truly look the part.
This variety grows slowly and stays compact with a maximum height of approximately 10 cm, making it ideal for small aquariums.
Here's a few tips about this plant that are worth mentioning.
1. Lots of colour
Red plants are popular in the hobby because they break up the sea of green that we see so much of. Use red plants in groups to create focal points and consider positioning them around wood or rock for a stylish look.
2. Red plants need more light
Red plants get their colour from light intensity. The reason they arrive with lovely colours is because they're grown in greenhouses that have access to lots of natural light. This means they grow fast, and colourful. If you don't have lots of light (and these plants really like pink light), colour can be less along with speed of growth.
3. Don't forget to trim
Most red plants are stems and this means they generally grow quite fast. It's important to trim stem plants regularly and don't be concerned when trimming 50% each time. This allows the plant to retain their colours and stay bushy. If you let them grow too big, they'll drop their lower leaves and concentrate on their top section (resembling a forest canopy) which you don't want.

Looks like a great specimen
Good colour and compact, Ideal for smaller aquarium's
This is the dwarf Reineckii and its a beautiful plant and will add a splash of colour to any aquarium. I split this pot and planted in two places,it looks really good, if planted together it will look amazing too. I got this plant with others I ordered and I was absolutely delighted and impressed just by the packaging the plants came in. The delivery was really fast and the quality of the plants were second to none, I've never bought such high quality plants before. I certainly won't be buying ANY plants unless it's from Aqua Essentials it's a no brainer!
