Rotala Red, also known as Rotala rotundifolia, is a popular aquatic plant in the hobby due to its bright red coloration and ease of care. It is native to Southeast Asia and can grow up to 50 cm in height. The leaves of Rotala Red are small and round, and the plant requires high lighting and nutrient-rich water to maintain its vibrant red coloration.
Rotala Red is a great plant for aquascaping and can be used to create a striking contrast against green plants. It is also a popular choice for Dutch-style aquariums, where it can be used to create a bold red accent in the layout.
When growing Rotala Red, it is important to maintain stable water parameters and provide regular fertilization. CO2 injection can also be beneficial for promoting healthy growth and coloration. Rotala Red can be propagated by stem cuttings, which should be planted in the substrate and allowed to develop roots.
