Rotala rotundifolia 'Blood Red'

Product description

Rotala rotundifolia 'Blood Red' is the most intensely red colored variety of Rotala rotundifolia. If placed next to light green plants, its bright red color is highlighted even more. The plant is easy to grow and can thrive even under relatively weak light and nutrient conditions.

To achieve the most intense coloring, however, a lot of light and added CO₂ are required. The plant grows upright to slightly arched and forms many lateral shoots. Regular pruning is needed to ensure good light penetration and water flow between the stems.
