Alternanthera rosaefolia is a popular aquarium plant known for its striking pink and red leaves. It is a relatively easy plant to care for and can thrive in a wide range of water parameters.
In aquariums, Alternanthera rosaefolia grows best in bright to moderate light and benefits from regular fertilization and CO2 supplementation. It can be propagated by cutting and replanting the stems or by allowing the plant to produce runners that develop new plantlets.
Outside of aquariums, Alternanthera rosaefolia can also be grown as a submerged aquatic plant in ponds or water gardens or as a terrestrial plant in garden beds or containers. It prefers well-draining soil and regular watering.
Alternanthera rosaefolia is native to South America, particularly the Amazon Basin, and can reach a height of up to 20 inches (50 cm) in the wild. It belongs to the Amaranthaceae family and is closely related to other popular aquarium plants such as Alternanthera reineckii and Ludwigia species.
