Rotala macranda "Red"

Rotala macrandra 'Red' is a stunning and highly sought-after aquarium plant, prized for its vibrant red colouration and delicate, ornate leaves. Originating from India, this species is known for its striking appearance, with narrow, elongated leaves that display deep red to crimson hues, especially under high light and nutrient-rich conditions. Rotala macrandra 'Red' is typically used as a focal point or accent plant in aquascapes, where its intense color adds contrast and visual interest to the overall design. While it can be a bit more demanding than other Rotala species, requiring strong lighting, CO2 supplementation, and careful attention to water parameters, the rewards are well worth the effort. Its relatively fast growth rate and ability to create dense, bushy clusters make it an excellent choice for creating vibrant midground or background sections in a planted tank. For aquarists looking to add a bold splash of colour and a touch of elegance to their aquascape, Rotala macrandra 'Red' is an exceptional choice.
