The variegated narrow-leaved parrot leaf Alternanthera reineckii "Bronze" with its olive green to reddish brown narrow leaves grows to a height of about 20-40 cm and is thus wonderfully suitable for the background. In combination with green plants it provides beautiful color accents.
The parrot leaf A. reineckii originates from northern South America. It has been extremely popular in aquaristics for a long time.
The narrow-leaved parrot leaf can be kept well without additional CO2 fertilization and with medium lighting. However, its full color splendor can be admired rather with additional CO2 and under stronger light.
For planting, take the stems one at a time and place them in the substrate about 3-4 inches apart. Place larger groups to show off the beautiful leaf colors.
To propagate parrot leaf, separate cuttings from shoot tips and side shoots and replant.
Our recommendation: For splendid plant growth, we recommend premium nutrient medium when replanting NatureHolic GroundBooster
