One of the classic aquarium plants, Rotala rotundifolia is both beautiful and easy-to-grow. This plant features delicate, thin stems with small, lanceolate leaves that grow in a distinctive spiral pattern.

Dwarf Rotala is a great plant for beginners and experienced aquarists alike. It's adaptable to a wide range of water conditions and doesn't require high-tech lighting or CO2 injection to thrive. While it grows best in moderate to high lighting, it can still do well in lower light conditions.

Under high lighting, the leaves will develop a beautiful light pink colour. To increase this colouration, be sure to provide your Rotala rotundifolia with plenty of nutrients and CO2. Regular pruning will promote side shoots, and create a compact and bushy look.

With its attractive translucent leaves and vibrant colouration, Dwarf Rotala is a great choice for creating a beautiful and dynamic aquascape. It is the most suitable Rotala species for beginners, and makes a nice midground or background accent plant.
