Kaiser Aquatics Rotala rotundifolia Blood Red is a striking stem plant known for its deep red colouring that intensifies under strong lighting.

In a few days, after placing your plants in the aquarium you will notice some of the leaves start to melt and fall away.
This means the transition process has started. Please note the plants might look DEAD, but they are fully alive, so do not panic. Also, after a few days you will notice new growth will appear and the plant will fully change its form into submersed growth. You need to continuously trim and put a fertilizer in for the plants to thrive in your aquarium. A few good fertilizers include Easy Life – Profito, Scape Complete or our premium APT Zero. All plants have specific needs but if you follow the general instructions on our labels the plant will transition well and will eventually succeed and prosper in your aquarium.

Great plant! Under CO2 it really does pop and grows very fast.
Verified owner Willan Adonis (verified owner) –
About 8 stems in the pot. Has doubled in size in 2 weeks and turned red. Value for money red plant.
Verified owner Arno Kriel (verified owner) –
Healthy-looking plant with runner roots already forming from the shop, excited to see how the plant grows into its full red colours.
