Rotala <\/span><\/i>sp Vietnam is commonly called <\/span>Vietnamese <\/span>Rotala<\/span><\/i> or <\/span>Rotala <\/span><\/i>Vietnam.<\/span><\/p>\n

This <\/span>Rotala <\/span><\/i>species can be found in Vietnam’s shallow waters and wetland areas. <\/span><\/p>\n

Rotala <\/span><\/i>sp. ‘Vietnam’ was first introduced to the hobby by the Japanese firm Rayon Vert. Although this <\/span>Rotala <\/span><\/i>has yet to be recognized, it is known to inhabit shallow waterways and moist ground in its natural habitat. The submerged form is supposed to resemble Rotala<\/em> hippuris, although it has yet to be determined whether it truly belongs to that species.<\/span><\/p>\n

It will grow into a plant with green, needle-like leaves and a red stem when exposed to moderate light, while high light will turn the leaves a wonderful golden color. CO\u2082 infusion, iron, and a micronutrient-rich substrate are required to help the plant develop to its full potential, and if it is not clipped, it will swiftly produce long shoots along the water’s surface. To reproduce the Rotala<\/em>, remove the top and lateral stems and replant them.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Vietnamese <\/span>Rotala’s <\/span><\/i>size and form make it a good midground or background plant, depending on how often you trim it, and its color contrasts nicely with green and red\/pink plants, especially if placed in a tank with a lot of stem plants.<\/span><\/p>\n
