Alternanthéra séssilis
Alternanthera sessilis is native to tropical and subtropical regions, commonly found in moist to wet areas such as marshes, roadsides, and gardens. It has a widely cultivated dark red form used as an ornamental plant and occasionally sold as an aquarium plant. However, it is not suitable for submerged cultivation, as underwater it produces long internodes with small leaves and numerous roots near the top of the plant. In contrast, emersed cultivation of A. sessilis is relatively easy.
