Alternanthera Rosaefolia (Submersed)

Alternanthera Rosaefolia (Submersed)

Alternanthera Rosaefolia is a stunning and highly colourful stem plant known for its vibrant pink, red, and purple-toned foliage under stronger lighting. Its striking colouration and compact bushy growth make it an exceptional feature or foreground-to-midground plant for planted aquariums, Dutch-style aquascapes, and high-tech planted tanks.

As a visually striking aquarium plant, Alternanthera Rosaefolia develops its best colours in nutrient-rich aquariums with strong lighting and stable conditions. This submersed-grown specimen arrives already adapted to underwater aquarium conditions, allowing for easier transition and instant aquascape impact.

At N8 Aquatics, our plants are carefully quarantined before sale to help ensure they arrive healthy, clean, and pest-free.
