Tropica Rotala indica 'bonsai' 1-2-GROW!

Rotala indica Bonsai is a compact and restrained form of Rotala indica producing small, rounded pairs of leaves in fresh green to soft pinkish-green on short-internode stems that stay noticeably more compact than standard Rotala rotundifolia. Its naturally smaller scale and more manageable growth habit make it a useful and attractive background or midground stem plant in aquariums where a compact red-toned Rotala is preferred over a more vigorous growing species.\nIt benefits from bright light and CO2 supplementation for the most compact internodes and the warmest pinkish colouration on new growth. Without CO2 or bright light growth becomes looser and more elongated and the warm tones on the leaves are less pronounced. Regular trimming encourages branching and maintains the bushy, compact appearance.\nSupplied as a Tropica 1-2-GROW! tissue culture cup, this plant arrives completely free from snails, pest algae, and pesticide residue. Rinse the gel, separate stems and plant into the s.
