What Rotala H'ra look like

Rotala H'ra is a Rotala rotundifolia variant with fine leaves and warm orange-red tips under high light, CO2, and balanced nutrients.

Behavior & temperament

It is a popular background and Dutch-style stem. Frequent trimming and replanting tops keeps the lower growth from becoming shaded and bare.

Diet & feeding

Rotala H'ra is a fast photosynthetic stem plant. Provide moderate to high light, CO2, stable macronutrients, and trace fertilizer for orange-red coloration and dense growth.

Behind the name

H'ra refers to the trade locality or cultivar name; rotundifolia means round-leaved, reflecting emersed leaf form.

Plan your tank

Check the numbers before you buy: tank volume, a stocking plan, cycle progress, water changes, and your ongoing care routine.
