Tropica – Rotala rotundifolia ‘H’ra’ (Medium Tech)

Tropica – Rotala rotundifolia ‘H’ra’ has rather narrow leaves and an overhanging or creeping growth. It is probably a variation of Rotala rotundifolia and has much resemblance to Rotala sp. ‘Green’.

High light levels, good fertilization and added CO2 will induce almost exclusively creeping growth and a warm, rich orange coloration. This makes it possible to create a dense, orange mid-ground cushion or even an unusual, orange foreground carpet.

McMerwe’s Comment: A premium Tropica Plant. The only true red rotala. Give a very good light and decent fertilizer and it will reward you with a deep red.  [Rating 5/5]
