Alternanthera reineckii 'Rosanervig Mini'

About this plant

Rosanervig Mini brings the pale-veined pink foliage of Rosanervig into a shorter stem-plant selection. It is useful where the standard form would hide the front of a planting group. Compactness is a growth habit, not a promise that an untrimmed shoot will remain at foreground height. Set a small group where neighbouring stems will not shade the lower leaves. Replant healthy tips to renew the patch rather than repeatedly cutting an already bare base. Judge the pattern on new submerged leaves; nursery foliage and weakly lit shoots can look greener. Plant sound shoots with enough space for light and water movement to reach their lower leaves. Use balanced macro- and micronutrient nutrition rather than treating colour alone as evidence of a specific deficiency. Trim established shoots and replant healthy tops to renew an ageing group. Nursery-grown leaves can change shape or be shed after submersion; assess the condition of new shoots and roots. Remove decaying material rather than allowing it to accumulate below the canopy. Care ranges, where supplied, describe reported cultivation conditions rather than measured lethal limits. Width and nutrient concentrations are left unspecified where no defensible form-specific values are available.
