Care Tips: Rotala Macrandra Mini Red is a compact, vibrant aquatic plant that adds beautiful red hues to any aquascape. It has small, narrow leaves that turn a striking red under optimal lighting. This plant requires high lighting conditions to fully develop its rich red color. It thrives in slightly acidic to neutral water (pH 6.0–7.5) and grows best in temperatures between 22–28°C. The plant has a medium to fast growth rate, so regular pruning is necessary to maintain its compact shape and prevent it from overtaking other plants in the tank. Rotala Macrandra Mini Red does best in nutrient-rich substrates and benefits from CO2 supplementation, which will enhance both its growth and color intensity. It’s ideal for aquascaping foreground and midground spaces. Regular trimming helps keep it bushy and dense, making it a stunning addition to aquariums that require a splash of red. Additionally, liquid fertilizers and consistent water changes will promote healthy growth.
