Alternanthera Sessilis

Alternanthera Sessilis

The Alternanthera Sessilis is a red-leaved stem plant that is available in several colour variations and leaf shapes.
The upper part of the leaves varies from olive green to brown, the underside of the leaves from red to dark red.
A good source of iron is therefore recommended to maintain and enhance the red colour.
Because the leaves are reddish, this forms a striking and beautiful contrast with green aquarium plants
