Rotala rotundifolia
Origin: Southeast Asia
Rotala rotundifolia is a perennial favourite background stem plant, producing masses of small, rounded leaves along freely branching stems that shift progressively from green at the base to vivid pink and red at the growing tips under high lighting intensity. Fast-growing and highly responsive to trimming, it excels in creating layered, gradient background effects. Supplied in a Tropica pot.
Plant bunches of 5–7 stems in substrate. CO2 injection and medium to high lighting intensify pink-red coloration. Trim tops regularly and replant cut pieces to develop a full, layered background. Dose iron-rich comprehensive fertilizer regularly. One of the most rewarding and versatile stem plants for any planted tank.
