Alternanthera Cardinalis PC Aquafleur

Finally an aquatic plant that keeps its deep red color even under my medium lighting. The stems have already grown a couple inches in just the first week.

The broad leaves really pop against my green stem plants, and it's held its deep red color even under my moderate light setup. It's been growing steadily without any fuss, so I'm honestly impressed with how tough it is.

I was a bit worried about how it would handle my strong LED lighting, but it's thriving and that deep red really pops against the green plants. The broad leaves give it a nice, full look even without CO2, which is a pleasant surprise.
