Rotala rotundifolia (variants include Rotala Colorata, H’ra, Ceylon, and others) is a fast-growing stem plant that has long been a popular choice in planted aquariums. Around the year 1960, it was first introduced under the incorrect name of Rotala indica, causing widespread confusion that has persisted to this day. Here’s a description of true Rotala indica, as well as an explanation of how the names got mixed up.
It is tolerant of a wide range of water parameters and is a simple plant to grow; after a time of adjustment, it does well even in aquariums without carbon dioxide input. It can, however, develop with more density and coloration if there is enough light and COâ‚‚.
They grow continuously towards the light as stem plants and can reach the top of even the tallest aquariums. If permitted to reach the water’s surface, it will eventually break through and produce submerged leaves and blooms. If you put stems in a tank with a lot of light and room around them, they will grow downwards and creep along the substrate. They will grow vertically more readily if planted in a more crowded place.
When in fast-growth mode, the plant branches more abundantly; when conditions are lean, the plant develops more vertically with less branching (either low COâ‚‚ or low nutrients).
Care Tips
- To acquire decent colour, you’ll need enough light (from medium onwards).
- Excessive water parameters should be avoided (high alkalinity or uncycled tanks)
Tissue culture plants are young aquatic plants that are developed in-vitro in aquatic plant propagation laboratories. This unique cultivation ensures these plants are devoid of undesired snails, algae, and pesticides, making them completely safe for even the most delicate fish and shrimp species. We offer a diverse range of tissue cultured aquarium plant varieties. Our cultures provide substantial planting portions, and when combined with high-quality fertilizers and COâ‚‚ injection will grow into healthy aquatic plants. Just lower the root portion of the tissue culture's clump that needs to be planted directly into the soil until it is buried halfway into the aquatic soil.Plant Format
