Overview:

Rotala rotundifolia ‘Blood Red’ is a striking stem plant prized for its deep red to crimson foliage when grown under strong lighting and optimal conditions. Supplied in an in-vitro cup, this plant is cultivated in sterile laboratory conditions, ensuring it is free from pests, algae, and snails.

Its vivid colour makes it an excellent focal or accent plant in planted aquariums, providing dramatic contrast against green plants and darker backgrounds. When planted in dense groups, ‘Blood Red’ creates a bold, eye-catching display in midground or background areas.

Care and Growth:

This plant prefers medium to high lighting and benefits significantly from CO₂ injection to maintain its intense red coloration. Stable water parameters, regular liquid fertilisation, and a nutrient-rich substrate support strong, healthy growth and vibrant colour.

Propagation is simple: trim healthy stems and replant the cuttings into the substrate. Frequent pruning encourages bushier growth and helps maintain a dense, uniform appearance.
