Rotala rotundifolia 'Green'

Rotala Rotundifolia 'green' Scientific Name: Rotala sp. 'green' Common Name: Roundleaf Toothcup, Dwarf Rotala One of the most popular stem plants for blackwater, biotope, and botanical method aquariums. This plant displays dense lime-green leaves, preferring low to medium levels of tint in the water. Unlike its harder-to-keep red-toned varients, this variety stays green even under high light, making it ideal for creating contrast with the tinted water. It thrives with medium to high light and benefits from CO₂ and nutrient dosing, but it's forgiving enough for low-tech setups. We recommend supplementing the substrate with root tabs if you are using inert sand and dosing the water column occasionally with a low-dose broad-spectrum fertilizer. With regular trimming, Rotala Green grows thick and compact, allowing you to shape it into beautiful, lush clusters.
