The sitting parrot leaf, as Alternanthera sessilis is also called, is, contrary to the assumption rather not suitable for culture in the aquarium, but makes in the terrarium or paludarium all the better figure. Originally this pretty plant comes from tropical and subtropical areas and is found mainly in swamps or roadsides and is also used in traditional medicine and cooking. It is also known as mukunu-wenna.
The care of the Sitting Parrot Leaf is quite simple, as the plant tolerates normally moist substrate, but also wet feet. It also looks good in semi-open aquariums, provided it is placed in shallow water, as can be done well with Plant Pots. Then it grows over the edge of the tank and forms great wine-red leaves, which is an ideal pontoon to other tropical plants. Its stems can reach up to 100 cm, which is why it should be trimmed regularly.
The A. sessilis has been grown InVitro, therefore it is free from pathogens, planaria, algae or other pests that make life difficult. Before planting, rinse the nutrient medium and plant the individual shoots into the substrate with some distance between them.
