Rotala Small Leaf

As the name implies, this is a tiny leaf variant of Rotala. It bears some resemblance to Ludwigia Arcuata but the leaves are a bit more broad. Colors can range from light green to dark orange depending on lighting. This plant prefers high light and CO2 in order to achieve the best growth.

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.
