Product description

About the species

Rotala macrandra 'Japan' is a magnificent aquarium plant, but unfortunately very demanding. This variety is slightly easier to grow and develops better coloring. It needs very good light to develop its beautiful red hues, just as supplementation of CO2 and soft water is essential to ensure optimal growth. Cut the longest stems 5-10 cm from the ground and replant them in the group.
