Overview:

Rotala sp. ‘Green’ is a reliable and visually clean stem plant prized for its bright green leaves and upright growth habit. Unlike many Rotala species, it retains its fresh green colour even under strong lighting, making it ideal for balanced and natural-looking aquascapes.

When planted in groups, it forms dense, bushy stands that add structure and volume to the aquarium. Its simple colour and fine texture make it an excellent companion plant for more vibrant red species.

Care and Growth:

This plant is highly adaptable and grows well under low to moderate lighting, making it suitable for low-tech aquariums. CO₂ injection is optional but helps produce tighter internodes and faster growth. Regular liquid fertilisation supports healthy, consistent development.

Propagation is easy: trim healthy stems and replant the cuttings into the substrate. Frequent trimming encourages bushier growth and allows the plant to be shaped to suit your aquascape.

• Bright green stem plant with clean, natural appearance
• Maintains green colour even under strong lighting
• Hardy and beginner-friendly
• Suitable for low-tech and high-tech aquariums
