Alternanthera Red Broad Leaf is a rare variant in the Alternanthera family, with red stems and ribs alongside varying greenish-yellow hues. Like most Alternanthera species it's a great beginner red plant — easier to keep vibrant than most other red aquatic plants, though color will dull without adequate light and nutrients.

Other Prefers high nitrates and phosphates — regular fertilizing helps speed growth and keep coloration at its best.

Care & Planting: Remove the plant from its wrap and lead weight, then plant into quality substrate. Propagate by cutting the stem and replanting cuttings. As with all farm-grown stem plants, the photo may not reflect its submersed look — leaf shape and color often shift once the plant adjusts to underwater growth.
