Rosaefolia Signature Stems

Reineckii rosaefolia, a variant of Alternanthera reineckii, is admired for its vibrant pink to rose-red hues and graceful, upright stems. The stems of this plant are more than just structural — they’re a vivid centerpiece, offering both color depth and textural elegance in any aquatic setup.

✨ Characteristics of the Reineckii rosaefolia Stem:

1. Color-Rich and Eye-Catching
   The stems are a reddish-pink to magenta tone, often matching or complementing the leaf undersides. This creates a gradient effect that adds visual drama to aquascapes.

2. Upright and Graceful
   The stems grow vertically and steadily, often 30–50 cm tall, making them ideal for background planting in aquariums or high-contrast vertical features.

3. Dense Node Spacing
   With close internodes (the space between leaves on the stem), Reineckii rosaefolia offers a compact, lush appearance when well-trimmed and grown under ideal conditions.

4. Architectural Elegance
   Each stem acts like a natural sculpture — rising gracefully from the substrate, topped with delicate, rosy foliage. It's a true luxury plant for those who appreciate detail and color balance.

🌱 Care for Luxurious Stems:

To keep your Reineckii rosaefolia stems thriving and richly colored:

• Lighting: Medium to high intensity is best to maintain the reddish-pink coloration.

• CO₂: Optional, but boosts growth and color intensity dramatically.

• Substrate: Nutrient-rich substrate promotes healthy root systems and sturdy stems.

• Trimming: Regular cutting encourages side-shoots, creating bushier growth with more color-packed stems.
