Rotala indica ‘Bonsai’

Rotala indica ‘Bonsai’ forms compact groups of short, rounded leaves, making it useful in smaller aquariums. Stronger light can bring reddish colour to the stem tips.

Planting and care

Plant in small groups and trim regularly to keep a dense shape. Replant healthy cuttings to fill gaps. Provide medium light and CO; lower light encourages larger leaves and looser growth.
