Rotala Vietnam

Rotala Vietnam

As its name suggests, Rotala Vietnam originates from Vietnam. Similarily to other Rotala species, this plant's appearance will be impacted by the aquarium conditions. Under good and bright light and with proper fertilization, Rotal Vietnam will produce dark red stems with finer leaves in deep green color.

Care & Maintenance

Rotala Vietnam is tolerant of a wide range of water conditions. CO2 and heavy fertilization are not required. However, if provided with good light and properly fertilized, Rotala Vietnam will grow faster and more compact.

• Minimum Lighting Required: Moderate
• Temperature Range: 72-82°F
• Tank Placement: Background

Rotala Vietnam will provide the biggest visual impact when planted in groups of several stems in the background of the aquarium. Once the plant reaches the top of the aquarium, Rotala should be trimmed to keep it tidy and the cuttings can be replanted. This task is made easier with proper aquascaping tools.
