Rotala rotundifolia 'Vietnam'

Rotala rotundifolia 'Vietnam' is a Vietnamese collection variant of the classic R. rotundifolia, selected for its notably more compact leaf size and the deeper, more saturated pink colour it develops under medium to high light and CO2 conditions. The tissue culture form ensures clean, vigorous establishment. Like all Rotala rotundifolia variants it is a fast-growing, easy-to-keep stem plant suitable for background use. Its smaller leaves give it a finer texture that works well in smaller aquariums where standard R. rotundifolia can appear coarse. Regular trimming encourages bushy branching and intensifies the pink colouration of growing tips. Provides excellent nutrient uptake and helps prevent algae blooms in new setups.
