Alternanthera Bettzickiana Green is a popular choice for beginners due to the fact like most alternantheras, it’s pretty easy to grow. This type of Alternanthera is a unique stem plant with deep green, glossy color and soft curly or wrinkled textured leaves. It’s fairly easy to keep and is a popular choice as a bushy midground or background plant. This plant is also known for being a great addition to Dutch-style aquascapes.

It prefers high nitrates and high phosphates so dosing fertilizers such as UNS Plant Food will help speed up growth and keep coloration at its best. A nutrient-rich substrate is required for this plant to thrive.
