Care Tips: Rotala Indica is a vibrant, fast-growing plant known for its narrow, green leaves that can turn a reddish hue under optimal lighting. It thrives in medium to high light conditions and prefers slightly acidic to neutral water (pH 6.0–7.5). The plant's ideal temperature range is between 22–28°C. Due to its fast growth rate, it requires regular pruning to maintain a manageable size and shape, as it can grow quickly and spread throughout the tank. Rotala Indica does well in nutrient-rich substrates and benefits from CO2 supplementation, which encourages robust growth and enhances its color. It is typically used in midground to background positions in aquascapes and can help create a lush, dense appearance. For best results, regular water changes and liquid fertilizers can be used to keep it healthy. This plant can be propagated by cutting and replanting the stems, making it easy to maintain and spread across your aquarium.
