Rotala Macrandra is not one of the most easy-to-care-for aquarium plants. It necessitates the expert attention of aquarists. The pH of the water used to cultivate this plant should be between 6.0 and 7.0. It should be supplemented with iron, trace elements, and a small amount of CO₂ . Lighting must be intense since the plant requires a high to extremely high light intensity to develop healthily and provide the vibrant colors it is known for. The plant has been seen to thrive in aquariums with high-intensity lights. The plant doesn’t do well in regions with a lot of shade because it will die if it doesn’t get enough light!
