Description
At least two different Alternanthera forms are cultivated under the name "Alternanthera cardinalis". One has especially narrow leaves. However, we offer the customary Alternanthera reineckii 'Cardinalis' that differs from A. reineckii 'Rosaefolia' ('Pink') by wider leaves and deeply dark red, not light red coloration of the submerged leaves. 'Colorata' counts among the relatively few aquarium plants that are really red.
As well as other forms of Alternanthera reineckii, 'Cardinalis' looks most splendid with rather strong lighting and good CO2 and nutrient supply. This stem plant grows quite strongly and is easily propagated by cuttings of stem tips and side shoots.
As a group in the midground to background of not too small aquariums, Alternanthera reineckii 'Cardinalis' provides a strong dark-red colour accent and contrasts well with light green plants. As well as other selections of Alternanthera reineckii, it is well suited to create a "plant street" in Dutch style tanks.

Gerne wieder - Pflanze sieht mega gut aus !!!
Karton aufgemacht und als erstes wurde ich von den roten Pflanzen gefesselt. Zeigten bei Lieferung schon sehr schöne Farben und die Pflanze selbst war auch echt groß - würde ich wieder bestellen !!!
The plant arrived in the usual good condition, but has insanely wide gaps between the leaf nodes. I also have the Mini in my aquariums and ended up preferring that one, and...

Guter Zustand, aber große Abstände
Die Pflanze kam im gewohnt guten Zustand an, hat allerdings irre weite Abstände zwischen den Blattachsen. Ich habe auch die Mini in meinem Aquarien und habe doch lieber diese genutzt und die Cardinalis schlussendlich in den Biomüll geworfen. Immer schade drum, aber die Ästhetik ist einfach nicht gegeben.
- Great plant species - Unfortunately it arrived already quite wilted - Has now died completely despite CO2 and regular fertilization - My expectations were unfortunately not met

Tolle Pflanzenart wenn die Qualität stimmt
- Tolle Pflanzenart - Leider kam diese schon ziemlich welk an - Inzwischen komplett eingegangen trotz Co2 und regelmäßiger Düngung - Meine Erwartung wurde leider nicht erfüllt
