Rotala indica – loose

Rotala indica is a popular and beautiful aquatic plant that adds a touch of elegance and vibrancy to any freshwater aquarium. With its slender, branching stems and small, lance-shaped leaves, this plant creates a bushy, soft appearance that makes it a great choice for the midground or background of aquascapes. The leaves are a rich green but can develop shades of red or pink under high lighting conditions, adding a lovely contrast to your aquascape.

Rotala indica thrives in moderate to high lighting and benefits from CO₂ supplementation, which promotes lush growth and enhances its red coloration. It prefers a nutrient-rich substrate, though it can adapt to a variety of tank setups. Due to its fast growth rate, Rotala indica may require periodic trimming to maintain its compact form and prevent it from becoming too overgrown.

Beyond its aesthetic appeal, Rotala indica plays a role in maintaining water quality by absorbing excess nutrients, which can help reduce algae growth and support a more balanced aquarium ecosystem. Its vibrant color and easy care make it an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced aquarists.
