Rotala rotundifolia 'Green' is an Asian stem plant whose leaves remain fresh green even under intense light. Its appearance is similar to other Rotala rotundifolia forms, but the persistent green colour distinguishes this selection when planning the colour balance of a planted aquarium.
Bushy growth with a hanging outline
Stems can reach about 40–50 cm long and 2–3 cm wide. The plant produces numerous side shoots, creating a bushy group with a gently hanging growth pattern. It is particularly effective when planted in a large group, where these branches form a continuous mass of foliage.
Frequent pruning supports the layout
Prune Rotala rotundifolia 'Green' frequently to maintain healthy growth and the intended shape. It is described as a suitable starter plant, but its high growth rate still needs to be considered in the maintenance plan. Light and CO2 requirements are listed as medium. This Tropica 1-2-Grow! product is a choice for a green stem group that retains its colour as the aquarium lighting becomes stronger.
