Rotala rotundifolia Reddish T/C Cup

Rotala rotundifolia Reddish is a freshwater stem plant that adds delicate texture and warm colour to planted aquariums. Supplied in a tissue culture (T/C) cup, it is well suited to creating planted groups in the midground or background.

Highlights

• Fine-leaved stems provide a soft contrast to broad-leaved aquarium plants.
• Pink to reddish tones develop under suitable lighting and growing conditions; colour varies with aquarium conditions.
• Regular trimming encourages branching for a fuller, bushier appearance.
• Supplied as one tissue culture cup.

Care Guide

• Placement: Midground or background, depending on aquarium size and trimming.
• Lighting: Moderate to high; stronger lighting generally supports more compact growth and richer colour.
• CO2: Supplementation is beneficial for vigorous growth and is recommended for demanding aquascapes.
• Nutrients: Provide consistent aquarium plant fertilization and stable water conditions.
• Maintenance: Trim regularly and replant healthy tops to build dense groups.

Planting Your T/C Cup

Gently remove the plants from the cup and rinse away the culture gel with clean water. Divide into small portions and plant the stems into aquarium substrate with space between groups. Keep the leaves above the substrate and allow time for the plants to adapt to submerged growth.

Please note: Cup size, plant height and colour can vary. Tissue-cultured growth may look different from mature submerged growth.
