Common Name: Rotala Rotundifolia Green

Rotala Rotundifolia is a popular and well-recognized stem plant originating from Southeast Asia.  It can be characterized by the long delicate stems with thin round vertical leaves shooting out from the side of the stems. When planted in groups, it has a dazzling effect as a thick green bush in your aquascape.

Propagation is like any other aquatic stem plant, simply cut anywhere along the stem and replace.  This plant grows relatively fast so frequent pruning is recommended to keep it growing thick and prevent the bottom leaves from getting starved off of lighting. 

Notes:

• Rotala has fragile leaves! Be sure to handle with care. 
• Final coloration is ultimately dependent upon the conditions this plant is kept in. This is a live plant meaning size, shape and color may vary.
• Do not make drastic changes to the aquarium. Unstable parameters will result in melt and rotting of the aquarium plant.
• Tissue culture plants are grown in vitro from a state of the art laboratory specialized in propagating aquatic plants. They provide the best option for those who want to ensure that absolutely zero unwanted pests are introduced into the aquarium.
• Remove tissue culture gel before planting.  Simply wash the gel away or soak the plant in water and squeeze the gel off with your fingers.

• CO2 injection and quality aquarium soil will yield better growth.
• Please research appropriately to ensure your plant thrives.
