DESCRIPTION
Alternanthera Ocipus is a rare aquarium stem plant in the planted tank hobby. Well-known for being a colorful genus, Alternanthera species are commonly seen in Dutch-style planted tanks or any setup that demands bold color! Like other AR species, Alternanthera Ocipus can be grown submerged in the aquarium and in emersed settings provided the conditions are suitable for growth. When provided with optimal conditions, colors produced are emphasized and include a variation of pink, purple, magentas and more.
To promote healthy growth, Alternanthera Ocipus should be planted in a full established tank with high quality plant substrate and moderate lighting. CO2 injection is highly recommended to achieve the most vibrant colors from this plant. Regular trimmings will help keep Alternanthera Ocipus compact and healthy. Trimmings can then be replanted to achieve a bushy look.
