Alternanthera Reineckii Variegated

This variegated form of Alternanthera reineckii carries leaves streaked and mottled in green, pink, and cream, giving it a painterly, multi-toned look that few stems can match. As with all AR, the strongest coloration comes under bright light with CO2 and steady iron dosing; in leaner setups the pink softens toward green. Plant it in a group as a colorful midground accent among green neighbors.
