Rotala Coin Leaf

This Rotala species comes from India, where it grows in dimly lit freshwater. It features rounded leaves with a green to red color. The red color will be enhanced with slightly higher lighting and CO2 supplement. Photos show difference in emersed form (rounded green leaves) versus submerged form (thin red/orange/pink leaves.)

Rotala has fragile leaves! Be sure to handle with care. Final coloration is ultimately dependent upon the conditions this plant is kept in. This is a live plant meaning size, shape and color may vary. Do not make drastic changes to the aquarium. Unstable parameters will result in melt and rotting of the aquarium plant. Please be sure to remove this plant from its wrap. Remove the foam surrounding the roots and plant into a quality substrate.

Please research appropriately to ensure your plant thrives.
