Alternanthera rosaefolia is a popular aquarium plant known for its striking pink and red leaves. It is a relatively easy plant to care for and can thrive in a wide range of water parameters.
In aquariums, Alternanthera rosaefolia grows best in bright to moderate light and benefits from regular fertilization and CO2 supplementation. It can be propagated by cutting and replanting the stems or by allowing the plant to produce runners that develop new plantlets.
Outside of aquariums, Alternanthera rosaefolia can also be grown as a submerged aquatic plant in ponds or water gardens or as a terrestrial plant in garden beds or containers. It prefers well-draining soil and regular watering.
Alternanthera rosaefolia is native to South America, particularly the Amazon Basin, and can reach a height of up to 20 inches (50 cm) in the wild. It belongs to the Amaranthaceae family and is closely related to other popular aquarium plants such as Alternanthera reineckii and Ludwigia species.

Beautiful plants came in very healthy and the right. Colors for their species. Individually packed for safety. Thanks so much, Olivia
Arrived quickly and well packaged, all plants look super healthy and happy so far!
Just. Wow. I am writing a review of the Alternanthera Rosaefolia plants that I ordered because they are the most eye catching to me out of the box, but all the plants were gorgeous. I am so glad I ordered. I can't wait to get planting! They arrived much quicker than i expected and in beautiful condition. If anything goes wrong with these babies, it's all on me. I will definitely order again. I forgot to add that I order all tissue culture and really appreciate the variety of plants you have. I am new to the hobby and ave snails I don't want so I am restarting my tank with all tissue culture. Thank you!! I'll be back.
They were better than expected. Almost like the picture. Ordered two and was more than enough for the foreground in my 16 gal long.
Shipping was quick and my order arrived in good condition. I planted a new tank using the dry start method. These alternanthera have new growth and are already looking taller on day 3. Looking forward to watching my tissue culture garden grow to maturity!
