My top red and colorful plants I’ve grown have been:
_Alternanthera reineckii_ (lowkey amazing to grow, haha.. great colors)
_Cryptocoryne albida_
_Cryptocoryne_ 'Pink Flamingo'
_C. spiralis_ 'Red'
_C. undulata_
_C. wendtii_ 'Red' & 'Bronze'
_Echinodorus_ 'Aflame'
_Echinodorus_ 'Ozelot'
_Echinodorus_ 'Red Chameleon'
_Echinodorus_ 'Red Diamond'
_Ludwigia repens_
_Nymphaea stellata_ (common, basic pink dwarf lily, sold as bulbs for $3 at most pet stores, lol. Great grower)
_Nymphaea zenkeri_ 'Red Tiger Lotus'
Personally, from my own experience-and yes, I know that this is not everyone’s cup of tea, per se-I have found soil or dirted/"dirty" tanks to be ideal, not only for redder leaves, but for INSANE plant growth, period. There is so much to learn on RUclips about aquascaping nowadays, anything is possible. That’s how I perfected my dirt tank technique! RUclips! 😂

I'm also maintaining my dirted tank and it is giving equal results and my red plants are also impressive red 🌝

[@VolcanixAquatix]

2 plants that I have the easiest time with is Hornwort and Rotala indica

[@Gilsfishroom]

Rotala blood red and Rotala macaranda butterfly.

[@theviolentone]

rotala bloodred singapore variant is the easier to get reddish than others rotala types..including bloodred MY/viet variant (shorter leaves) also bit difficult ..
