Alternanthera Cardinalis is a fine-looking bushy, stem plant with sturdy red/purple stems and long, pointy attractive leaves.

These plants originate from South America and need plenty of light to develop the red/purple leaves. With the addition of CO2 this plant will grown readily to the surface. If there is a lack of micro nutrients this plant will suffer and the leaves will become pale in colour.

This engaging plant will bring instant vibrancy and colour to your aquarium. As with all stem plants grow in groups of two and up.

A beautiful yet slightly demanding plant.

Conditions:

• Preferred water temperature is 20-28 degree.
• Ideal water chemistry is pH 6-8.4.
• Can be kept in a high light environment.
• Suitable in both CO2 and non CO2 tanks.
• Mid ground plant.

Big value!
