Tropica Rotala rotundifolia 'Green' CUP

Rotala sp. 'green' is closely related to Rotala rotundifolia, but does not develop red leaf tips, but remains refreshingly lush green - even in intense lighting. It also forms many side shoots and grows bushy, slightly overhanging. Since the stems can quickly shoot up to 50 cm, regular pruning is necessary - the plant thanks with dense foliage and vitality. In combination with their relatives, the result is varied, exciting backdrops for the middle and background - a great stem plant for larger pools and active gardeners!

Our expert Oliver Knott recommends:
The elegant overhanging growth is appreciated by many aquarium professionals: Takashi Amano also used the characteristic growth form of this Rotala in many of his aquascapes to great effect.

Note: The cups are grown in the laboratory. Aquatic plants from the so-called in vitro culture are grown sterile. They are therefore also suitable for sensitive animals such as dwarf shrimp and can be used immediately. With in vitro plants, there are no stowaways such as snails or parasites, and pesticides are also completely avoided.
