Care Tips: Rotala ceylon is a vibrant, fast-growing plant that is perfect for midground or background placement in aquariums. It thrives in medium to high lighting, where it can develop intense green and red coloration. This plant requires slightly acidic to neutral water conditions, and it benefits from regular fertilization, particularly with micronutrients. To achieve its best colors, providing good CO₂ levels will enhance its growth and coloration, but it can also grow without CO₂ in a well-maintained tank. Rotala ceylon grows at a moderate to fast rate and requires regular pruning to maintain its compact shape and prevent it from overshadowing other plants. It is an excellent choice for aquascapers looking to add texture and vibrant color to their tanks.
