Alternanthera reineckii 'Rosanervig' Alternanthera Reineckii Rosanervig is a red aquarium plant for the middle ground of the aquarium. The striking pattern on the leaves makes this species a real rarity in any planted aquarium.. Growing difficulty: moderately demanding Light requirement: medium CO₂ requirement: medium Outgrown plant height: up to 30cm Growth: medium Temperature: 22-28°C Placement in aquarium: second level Origin: cultivated variety Cup diameter: 6cm Alternanthera Reineckii 'Rosanervig', or Alternanthera Reineka Rosanervig, also known as Red Ruby. You may also come across the name Alternanthera Cardinalis, but that is not the scientific name for this plant. It is a very impressive member of the Amaranthaceae family that looks best in the background, in the center of the tank.In large aquariums, it can be planted in the foreground. If regularly cut back to a height of 5-10 cm, it will form a beautiful red carpet. Its distinctive feature is the burgundy pink leaves with contrasting light veins. The color of the leaves depends on the conditions in the aquarium. It is popular for arrangements in Dutch style aquariums. It is recommended to plant 6-7 seedlings in a group to form a compact, interesting-looking shrub. This variety needs a lot of light and is quite a demanding plant in this respect. A fertile substrate is also essential. It grows well in active media. The plant easily reproduces by dividing shoots that grow at the base of the stem and leaves. Cuttings cut from the mother plant can be put directly into the substrate. They quickly form a root system. For lush growth is recommended average minimum fertilization of Alternantera rosanervig with CO₂, i.e. with a content of 6 - 14 mg/l. It is advisable to use liquid fertilizers so that the plant does not lack micro and macro elements. This variety is not very demanding on water parameters. It grows in soft to hard water with pH between 5 and 8. The leaves of Alternantera rosanervig are very dense, so the plant is often used by smaller fish as protection from predators, and shade-loving species like to stay under it. Alternantera rosanervig looks nice near species such as Hemianthus callitrichoides Cuba and Aponogeton boivinianus . It contrasts nicely with the green of the other aquatic plants.Planting:The plant must be removed from the cup and thoroughly rinsed of gel under running water. This is best done by placing the plant in a container of lukewarm water. Most of the gel will then fall off by itself.

Dennerle E15 FerActiv - White iron for rich green leaves E15 FerActiv iron fertilizer provides all aquarium plants with divalent nutrient iron that they can use immediately, thereby ensuring a beautiful, fresh green colour. Symptoms of deficiency such as yellow, glassy leaves are thereby virtually completely cured, while young leaves can once again display a rich, green colour. Iron is of crucial importance for all aquarium plants. It is needed for generating the all-important chlorophyll. Without chlorophyll, the plant cannot photosynthesize. The effects of iron deficiency are immediately apparent: the young leaves appear pale and yellowish (iron-induced chlorosis). Please note: plants can only absorb divalent "white" iron. This is unfortunately not stable in an aquarium, and is quickly oxidised to become ineffective trivalent "brown" iron. Tap water contains virtually no iron. Aquarium plants are therefore reliant upon regular iron fertilization. Special tip:Commercially available iron tests often cannot detect chelated iron.  These tests indicate diminished levels, even though the aquarium water actually contains enough iron.  

Alternanthera Reineckii (Parrot Leaf)Alternanthera Reineckii 'Lilacina' is a beautiful red plant for the background or back wall of an aquarium. A very decorative plant, exceptionally colorful.Difficulty of cultivation: demandingLight requirements: highCO₂ requirements: mediumHeight of mature plant: up to 40 cmGrowth rate: slowTemperature: 17-28°CAquarium location: foreground, backgroundOrigin: South AmericaCup diameter 6 cmAlternanthera Reineckii 'Lilacina' is also called Lilac Alternanthera. It is intended for the second level of the aquarium or for the background. This species has been cultivated for a long time.The natural habitat of this species is the tropical regions of South America, where it grows in swamps and on the banks of rivers and lakes. It is a typical marsh plant. For this reason, it likes to grow above the water level, ideal for aquariums with low water levels. The stems above the water are often covered with tiny white or purple flowers. This variety has elongated, lance-shaped leaves that can grow up to 9.5 cm long.It is propagated by cuttings. It is recommended to place a few cuttings in a group to obtain a compact form. However, for the plant to develop all its beauty, it must find the right conditions. It grows best in soft to medium hard water up to 12 GH with a pH of 5 to 7. It is an extremely light-loving variety. It likes full spectrum light best. Intense light for 10 hours per day makes it grow faster and produces beautiful dark red leaves. Alternantera 'Lilacina' also needs CO₂ fertilization for lush growth. This can be done at a medium level, so between 6 and 14 mg/l. A deficiency of macro- and micronutrients is immediately noticeable in the form of changes in the leaf blades. The best substrate for this variety is a active substrate of good quality; it also grows well and happily in garden soil. It forms a poorly developed root system, consisting of a single bundle of thin and tender roots. It is worth cutting this plant back, and the cut shoots can be planted directly into the soil to obtain new cuttings. Planting: The plant must be removed from the cup and thoroughly rinsed from the gel under running water. This is best done by placing the plant in a container of lukewarm water. Most of the gel will then fall off by itself. Divide the contents of the cup into 1-2 cm lumps and then place them at a small distance..
