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.

Pogostemon erectusPogostemon Erectus is a green-stemmed aquarium plant. It looks especially attractive when planted in compact groups, in the background.Difficult to grow: moderately demanding Light requirements: medium CO₂ requirements: medium Height of the adult plant: up to 40 cm Growth rate: moderate Temperature: 20-28°C Aquarium location: Foreground, background Origin: Asia - India Cup diameter 6 cm Pogostemon Erectus, or erect chard, is a decorative, light green stem plant that resembles a mini-conifer in its growth. It belongs to the light family. It is an ideal background plant. It is best planted in groups, as it forms dense clumps that provide a background for other aquarium species. Pogostemon likes to grow above the water surface. Pogostemon grows between 15 - 30 cm tall, but can reach up to 40 cm under favorable conditions. The width of a single stem is usually not more than 3 cm. The plant needs quite a lot of light, otherwise there are no major care requirements. Due to the moderate growth rate, pruning is rather rare. It tolerates water with a pH of 5.5-8 and water hardness of 1-20° dH. Pogostemon can be propagated by planting cut tips in the substrate. Pruning is recommended to maintain a compact structure. This variety is not difficult to grow as long as it receives sufficient light (at least 0.5 W/l). CO₂ fertilization is advisable.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. Divide the contents of the cup into 1-2 cm lumps and then place them at a small distance on the selected items..
