ROTALA ROTUNDIFOLIA – Compact and Versatile Aquarium Plant in Pot from Southeast Asia
Rotala rotundifolia is one of the most beloved aquarium plants for its versatility and adaptability in various layouts. While its Latin name means “plant with round leaves,” this refers only to the marsh variety; the submerged form from Southeast Asia features long, slender leaves (2-3 cm wide) and reaches a height of 15-30 cm. Unlike other Rotala species, it is relatively undemanding, making it suitable even for less experienced aquarists. However, to achieve its intense reddish coloration, it requires good lighting and regular trimming to prevent lower leaves from being shaded. Over time, it develops numerous side shoots, becoming compact and bushy, ideal for decorating the midground and background of the aquarium.
