🧼 Care Instructions for Rotala rotundifolia 'Green'
-
-
Lighting: Provide moderate to high lighting (0.5–1.5 watts per liter) to promote healthy growth. Insufficient light can lead to leggy growth.
-
CO₂ Supplementation: While Rotala rotundifolia 'Green' can grow without CO₂, supplementation can enhance growth and foliage density.
-
Temperature: Maintain water temperature between 22°C and 28°C (72°F to 82°F) for optimal growth.
-
pH and Hardness: Rotala rotundifolia 'Green' thrives in a pH range of 4.0 to 7.0 and general hardness between 0 to 30 dGH.
-
Substrate: Use fine gravel or sand enriched with nutrients to support healthy root development.
-
Maintenance: Regular trimming is necessary to prevent overgrowth and maintain the desired shape.
-
Water Changes: Perform regular water changes to keep nutrient levels stable and reduce the risk of algae growth.
-
Algae Control:
Ensure proper nutrient balance. Overexposure to light or an imbalance between CO₂ and nutrients can lead to algae blooms. Introducing algae-eating fish (like Amano shrimp or Otocinclus catfish) and trimming decayed leaves promptly can keep your tank algae-free. -
Water Circulation:
Rotala 'Green' benefits from moderate water flow, which helps distribute nutrients and CO₂ more effectively, supporting robust growth and reducing detritus build-up around the plant base. -
Trimming Tips:
Trim the tops when stems reach near the water surface. Replant the cuttings into the substrate to make the plant bushier and encourage side shoots—this is key to achieving that dense, carpet-like effect in mid-to-background scaping. -
Tank Mates:
Compatible with peaceful freshwater fish and shrimp. Avoid housing with herbivorous fish (like goldfish or cichlids) that may damage the soft foliage.
