Red Ruby parrot leaf - Alternanthera reineckii "Red Ruby" - Dennerle pot

The really beautifully marked Alternanthera reineckii "Red Ruby" has strong pink-red colored leaves and somewhat lighter leaf veins. Thanks to its somewhat compact growth, the Ruby Red Parrot Leaf can be used in the middle ground to background, and with consistent pruning even in the foreground.

If you put cut off side shoots and shoot tips into the substrate, they will quickly take root, so the propagation of the Ruby Red Parrot Leaf is really not difficult.

Alternanthera reineckii "Red Ruby" looks beautiful in the company of green plants. This way you can create great color contrasts. In order for the coloration to develop optimally and the plant to grow compactly, strong light, good fertilization and a supply of CO2 are necessary.

Our recommendation: For a magnificent plant growth we recommend the use of the NatureHolic fertilizer series and for new set up the Premium Nutrient Substrate NatureHolic GroundBooster.
