The pink underside of Alternanthera reineckii 'Pink' leaves provides an effective contrast to the many green plants in an aquarium - especially when planted in groups.

Good light encourages the leaves to turn red.

Easy to propagate by cutting the terminal bud and planting it in the substrate.

This also makes the mother plant thicker, because more lateral shoots are formed.
