Eco Plant - Rotala Vietnam - InVitro small cup

About the plant Rotala Vietnam:
A great multi-colored plant with slightly elevated needs. It will wonderfully enliven and color any aquarium. It is suitable for the mid or background in small aquariums.

With a high iron content and lighting, the leaves can change color to orange-red in spots. The stems are always red.

Rotala Vietnam can be difficult to maintain, as it requires good quality aquarium lighting and CO2 dosing. It is also quite delicate and should only be planted in an aquarium with smaller, peaceful fish species, as overly active or aggressive fish may damage the plant.

When planting, clumps should be spaced 2.5 cm apart for faster growth.

Adding CO2 and soft water will significantly accelerate growth. This plant can grow quickly and will require regular trimming when grown under the right conditions. To maintain the plant, Neo Tabs Plant Fe and Neo Tabs Plant Tabs fertilizers are sufficient.
