Rotala rotundifolia
Rotala rotundifolia, also known as Rotala indica, is a fascinating aquarium plant from Southeast Asia. The Latin name means "round-leaved plant", which applies to the swamp form with circular leaves. In the aquarium, however, it develops long, thin leaves with a width of 2-3 cm and stems that reach a length of 15-30 cm.
This relatively undemanding plant needs plenty of light to develop its characteristic red leaves. Rotala rotundifolia readily forms side shoots, causing it to develop a dense, bushy shape. This dense growth habit requires regular pruning to ensure that the light reaches the lower leaves and the plant remains healthy.
Rotala rotundifolia is ideal for aquarists looking for a versatile and easy-care plant that also impresses with its rich colors and bushy shape. Discover this versatile beauty at Rendo Shrimp and enrich your aquarium with a plant that is both easy to handle and visually appealing!
