Rotala sp Nanjenshan

Rotala sp. Nanjenshan

A graceful and underrated gem from Taiwan, Rotala sp. Nanjenshan enchants with its delicate, narrow leaves that shift from soft green to warm pink-orange under strong lighting. Its fine, feathery texture and gently arching stems create a flowing, naturalistic quality that adds movement and softness to any aquascape — a beautiful counterpoint to bold-leaved foreground and midground plants.

Why Aquarists Love It:

• Delicate, fine-textured foliage with a graceful, flowing growth habit
• Warm pink-orange colouration develops beautifully under high light
• Creates a soft, naturalistic backdrop that complements bold hardscape and plants
• Responds well to trimming — becomes denser and bushier with regular maintenance
• A refined choice for Nature Aquarium and Taiwanese-style aquascapes

Care at a Glance:

• Placement: Midground to background
• Light: Medium to high (enhances pink-orange colouration)
• CO₂: Recommended for best growth and colour
• Fertiliser: Regular dosing beneficial
• Temperature: 22–28°C (72–82°F)
• Difficulty: Easy to moderate

Each stem is hand-selected from our live stock at KowloonAquarium — healthy, rooted, and ready to bring delicate beauty to your aquascape.
