🌿 Rosanervig Parrot Leaf (Alternanthera reineckii 'Rosanervig')
Pink-Red Leaves with Pale Veining • A True Aquatic Alternanthera • A Bold Colour Highlight
 
📋 Rosanervig Parrot Leaf is one of the most colourful Alternanthera you can grow. Its leaves glow in pink-to-red tones, each one traced with delicate pale veins that give it a striking, almost painted look. Planted in a group, it becomes a bold colour highlight in the midground or background, and it looks spectacular against green stem plants, carpets and mosses in Dutch-style aquascapes and nature layouts.
Unlike some Alternanthera, it's a true underwater plant, so it thrives fully submerged for the long term. Regular trimming keeps it dense and bushy, and replanted tops quickly fill out the group. Give it good light and steady nutrients, with CO2 if you have it, and its pink-red colour and veining become even more vivid.
It's a freshwater plant, suited to freshwater aquariums.
