Rotala Rotundifolia Wayanad T/C CUP

Rotala Rotundifolia 'Wayanad' — Tissue Culture Cup (Rotala rotundifolia)

The Rotala Rotundifolia 'Wayanad' is a rare, locality-specific variant of the beloved Rotala rotundifolia, sourced from the Wayanad region of Kerala, India. It is prized for its exceptionally vivid pinkish-red colouration under high light, making it one of the most sought-after stem plants for aquascaping. Supplied as a tissue culture (T/C) cup — 100% pest-, snail-, and algae-free, ready to plant straight from the cup.

Why Aquascapers Love It

• Stunning colour — leaves transition from green to deep pink/red under high light and low CO₂
• Tissue culture quality — guaranteed free of snails, pests, parasites, and algae
• Versatile placement — ideal as a mid-ground accent or lush background stem plant
• Fast grower — responds quickly to CO₂ injection and quality fertilisation
• Locality variant — 'Wayanad' form noted for more intense colouration than standard Rotala rotundifolia
