Alternanthera Reineckii 'Pink'

The Alternanthera Reineckii Pink owes its name to the colour that becomes visible at the bottom of the leaves.
When the Alternanthera Reineckii Pink is under water, the pink colour becomes clearly visible.
Providing good lighting and a good source of iron will help the plant retain and enhance its red color.
When there are mainly green coloured plants around it, the Alternanthera Reineckii 'Pink' will stand out even more.
