Alternanthera Rosaefolia

Alternanthera Rosaefolia

The Alternanthera Rosaefolia is a red-leaved stem plant that is available in multiple color schemes and leaf shapes. The leaves vary from burgundy to deep red.
A good source of iron is therefore recommended to maintain and enhance the red colour.
Because the leaves are red, this forms a striking and beautiful contrast with green aquarium plants.
This stem plant is called Red Parrot Leaf in Dutch.
