AquaArt Rotala rotundifolia

Rotala rotundifolia is a distinctive stem plant with elongated, thin leaves. It is rather undemanding but needs a lot of light to develop the attractive red colour. Its growth is bushy and very dense, it reaches a height of 15 to 30cm - ideal for the middle and background. Frequent trimming is recommended!

• Light requirement: good to sunny
• Optimal temperature: 4 to 32°C
• Water values: very soft to medium-hard
• pH value: 4 to 8
• Addition of CO2 and nutrients: positive response
• Propagation: cuttings

Note: The cups are grown in the laboratory. Aquatic plants from the so-called in vitro culture are grown sterile. They are therefore also suitable for sensitive animals such as dwarf shrimp and can be used immediately. With in vitro plants, there are no stowaways such as snails or parasites, and pesticides are also completely avoided.

Our expert Oliver Knott recommends:
Rotala rotundifolia is one of the most popular aquarium plants - but it should be pruned regularly so that the lower shoots receive enough light. This way it stays attractive for a long time.
