Rotala species Vietnam can grow quickly under good conditions and easily reach the water surface. Plan regular trimming — preferably every 2–3 weeks. The trimmed tops can be replanted directly. Liquid fertilizer such as Sera Florena supports healthy growth and beautiful color.

💡 Planter's tip

Ideal as a background filler in larger aquariums (80 cm+). Combine with broader-leafed plants such as Cryptocoryne wendtii or Anubias barteri for contrast.

❓ Frequently asked questions

How large does this plant get exactly?
Up to 80 cm — one of the largest Rotala species in our assortment. Ideal for larger tanks, but requires regular trimming in smaller aquariums.

Can I keep it without CO₂?
It's possible, but without CO₂, the plant grows slower and less compactly. For the best results, we recommend CO₂ injection.

My plant arrived yellow or limp — is that normal?
Yes, this is transport stress and almost always temporary. Give the plant 1–2 weeks to acclimatize. For persistent problems: contact us.

Is this plant suitable for a shrimp tank?
Yes, completely shrimp-friendly.
