A very compact and slowly growing Alternanthera with small leaves, that grows really well in most small aquariums. It will look quickly filled and bushy as it will produce several side shoots once you tip it. If you tip it often, short and with care you can create a tight, red violet carpet with a height of approximately 5 - 10 cm. This can be a beautiful contrast surface left of the centre.
