Alternanthera reineckii 'Pink' The Queen of Reds (XL Mother Plant) Alternanthera reineckii 'Pink', also known as pink-leaved parrot leaf, is a must-have for aquascapers who love intense colors. This large XL mother plant from South America is not only an immediate eye-catcher, but also ideal for targeted propagation. Benefits of the mother plant: Unlike small in-vitro or potted plants, you receive a mature, robust plant that has already reached a substantial size of approximately 2030 cm. It provides immediate fullness for planting the midground or background, is robust and less sensitive to initial fluctuations in water parameters, and is ready to produce strong tip cuttings to expand your color accents. For perfect pink coloration: The vivid colors of 'Pink' indicate optimal growing conditions. For the full intensity of its purple and pink tones, medium to high light levels with good aquarium lighting are essential. Additional CO supply of approximately 2025 mg/l promotes growth and significantly intensifies the red color. Use a nutrient-rich substrate, such as soil or fertilizer balls, along with regular liquid fertilization. In particular, the addition of iron (Fe) is important for developing the red tones. Care and propagation: Regular trimming is important for this stem plant. Simply cut back shoots that have grown too long. The mother plant will then form several new side shoots at the cut point and grow denser and bushier. The trimmed shoots can be replanted directly in the substrate as tip cuttings.
