Description

A new Alternanthera variant, also labeled as Alternanthera reineckii 'Cardinalis Variegata'. This colourful, well-growing plant is characterised by its vivid pink leaves with lighter-coloured leaf veins. Under water, it has a relatively compact growth habit, comparable with Alternanthera reineckii 'Mini', and it is great as colourful accent in the middle ground or in the foreground, given that it is trimmed regularly. Like most Alternanthera variants, it prefers good light and an abundant nutrient supply as well as additional CO2 injection for good growth and intensive colours.

Characteristics

Distribution map of Alternanthera reineckii 'Rosanervig'

This plant is a new, intensely red-coloured Alternanthera reineckii cultivar with a striking leaf pattern. It is in the trade under the cultivar names 'Rosanervig' and 'Red Ruby'.

The tissue around the leaf midrib and the stronger veins is lighter than the rest of the leaf surface and deep pink to ruby red. The 'Rosanervig' parrot leaf grows somewhat more compactly and more slowly than other, larger A. reineckii cultivars and in this respect resembles A. reineckii 'Mini'.

If the shrimp don't have enough food available, they may turn to the different varieties of Alternanthera reineckii as an alternative food source.

What is the best way to trim this plant? If possible, I'd like to keep it at around 15 to 20 cm in length.

There are various techniques you can use to trim Alternanthera reineckii 'Rosanervig'. However, this plant grows comparatively slowly, so the effort should be low.

I keep axolotls and am therefore interested in the in-vitro version. The temperature is fine and I'd also have a small bright corner free, but is the plant safe for axolotls' stomach and intestines? They like to bite into leaves from time to time.

Unfortunately, we have no data on how well this plant is tolerated by axolotls. For this reason, we unfortunately cannot give a reliable statement here.
