Rotala Rotundifolia Regular

One of the most forgiving stem plants in the hobby, Rotala rotundifolia grows narrow, needle-like leaves that shift from green to warm orange-pink at the tips as light increases. It bushes out readily when topped and replanted, so a single trim quickly becomes a dense background thicket. A reliable starting point for anyone easing into a planted tank.
