This potted format of Rotala Indica arrives rooted as a ready-to-plant clump — a fast way to fill in a background stand of this classic stem plant. Round leaves grow horizontally along tall stems, and tips can blush red under strong light, CO2, and fertilization.

Care & Planting: Remove the pot and root wool, then plant into quality substrate. Handle gently — Rotala leaves are fragile.
A note on appearance: Many stem plants, including this one, are harvested in their above-water (emersed) form, and the photo may not reflect how it looks once fully adjusted to life underwater. Leaf shape and coloration commonly shift as the plant transitions to submersed growth — don't be surprised if new growth looks different from what arrived in your order. Give it a few weeks to acclimate before judging its final look.
