Rotala Green is a vibrant stem plant known for its bright green, delicate leaves and bushy growth. Unlike other Rotala species, it retains its lush green color even under high light. This fast-growing plant is perfect for midground or background placement, creating a soft, dense backdrop. With regular trimming, it forms compact, bushy clusters. When planting from a tissue culture cup, separate into small portions and plant a few centimeters apart for quicker spread. Consistent CO₂ and nutrient supplementation will enhance its growth and overall health.
