Description:

Rotala H'ra is an eye-catching stem plant known for its delicate, needle-like leaves that can range in color from light green to deep red, depending on light intensity and CO₂ levels. Native to Vietnam, this vibrant plant is a sought-after choice for aquascapers looking to add a pop of red or pink to their aquariums. With premium cuts, you're getting the healthiest, top-quality portions that ensure quicker rooting and healthier growth in your tank.

Care Guidelines:

  • Lighting: Medium to high lighting is ideal to bring out Rotala H'ra's red and pink hues. Intense light will accentuate the plant’s coloration, while low light may result in a greener appearance.

  • CO₂ and Nutrients: For optimal growth and color, CO₂ supplementation is highly recommended, along with regular dosing of liquid fertilizers rich in iron. This helps maintain its vivid colors and promotes healthy growth.

  • Water Parameters: Rotala H'ra thrives in slightly acidic to neutral water (pH 6.0 - 7.5) and temperatures between 72-82°F (22-28°C).

  • Planting Tips: Position Rotala H'ra in the midground or background to create layers and contrast with green plants. Regular trimming encourages a bushy growth habit, making it ideal for vibrant, colorful aquascapes.


Benefits in an Aquascape:

Rotala H'ra’s unique coloration and vertical growth pattern make it a striking choice for aquascapes, providing a stunning contrast with green plants and hardscape elements. As a fast-growing stem plant, it’s also effective at absorbing excess nutrients, helping to prevent algae. Its vibrant colors add warmth and a lively energy to any aquarium, making it perfect for nature and Dutch-style aquascapes.
