Rotala Rotundifolia ‘HRA’ TC – IC043

Rotala rotundifolia ‘H’ra’ is also known as Rotala Hra or Rotala sp. H’ra. It is named after the Vietnamese province of Gia Lai. When grown in a good nutritional environment with CO₂ and intense lighting, it produces stunning pink, orange, and red flowers.

Rotala h’ra is a newcomer to the hobby that adds a delicate and dramatic touch to the back or mid-ground. The leaves of this stem plant are thin, pointed red or orange leaves that grow from an ascending rather than upright stem.

These plants have the most vibrant colors when exposed to moderate to high light. This plant can be grown in either an emersed or submerged environment.

Take a cutting from one of the plant’s side shoots or axial roots and replant it into the substrate to propagate it.

Care Tips

• Sufficient light (medium onwards) to get good coloration
