Description
Rotala indica is a classic, easy-going stem plant with fine green leaves that blush pink and reddish at the tips under good light. A staple of Dutch-style and nature aquascapes, Rotala indica grows quickly into a soft, feathery background group that gives a planted tank instant fullness.
Rotala indica is adaptable and grows in both low-tech and high-tech tanks, though brighter light and CO₂ produce denser, more colourful growth. Plant Rotala indica in bunches in the substrate, keep up regular water changes and light fertilisation, and trim the tops often; the cuttings replant easily and the plant branches into a thick hedge.
Fast, forgiving and inexpensive, Rotala indica is perfect for beginners learning to grow and trim stem plants, and it is equally at home filling the background of community and shrimp tanks. Choose Rotala indica for reliable, easy green-to-pink background cover.
