Overview:

Rotala sp. ‘H’ra’ is a highly sought-after Rotala variety, renowned for its intense red to orange coloration and narrow, pointed leaves. Under strong lighting, it develops some of the deepest red tones seen in Rotala species, making it a standout feature in planted aquariums.

This plant grows upright with slightly arching stems and responds exceptionally well to trimming, allowing it to be shaped into dense, colourful bushes. It is a favourite in high-energy aquascapes and Dutch-style layouts.

Care and Growth:

Medium to high lighting and CO₂ supplementation are strongly recommended to achieve the best colour and healthy, compact growth. Regular fertilisation, particularly iron, supports vibrant red tones and steady development.

Frequent trimming encourages bushier growth and prevents lower leaf loss. Cuttings can be replanted easily to create fuller, more dramatic groups over time.

Key Features:

• Intense red to orange coloration
• Narrow, pointed leaves with fine texture
• Fast-growing and easy to shape
• Best colour achieved with strong lighting and CO₂
• Ideal for midground or background placement
