Description:
Rotala macrandra 'Mini Red' is a vibrant aquarium plant known for its striking red leaves, which require high light and nutrient levels to maintain their color. In its emersed state, the plant has green, prostrate leaves, while the submerged state features deep red, upright leaves. This plant grows quickly under proper conditions and benefits from supplemental iron and micronutrients. It achieves its brightest red coloration with low nitrates and high phosphate levels. Rotala macrandra 'Mini Red' prefers soft, acidic water and CO2 levels between 15-25ppm. Propagation is easy by cutting and replanting, though care must be taken due to its fragile leaves. This plant's vibrant color and fast growth make it a popular choice for aquarists looking to add a splash of red to their tanks.
