Alternanthera reineckii ‘Mini’ is a compact red stem plant prized for its deep burgundy to purple tones. Unlike standard Alternanthera varieties, this mini form stays much lower and denser, making it ideal for the foreground or midground where colour contrast is needed without overwhelming the layout.

Planted in small groups, it grows into tight, bushy clumps rather than tall stems. Strong lighting is essential to maintain its rich colour and compact shape, and CO₂ is strongly recommended for healthy growth and stability. With the right conditions, regular trimming will encourage thicker, more uniform growth over time.
