Rotala Mexicana 'Bangladesh' — Tissue Culture

$10.95 USD
by Nature Aquariums
Type: AQUARIUM PLANTS

Rotala Mexicana 'Bangladesh' is a beautiful stem plant offering bright green to reddish coloration depending on care. It's relatively easy to keep, and its fine, thin, pointed leaves provide good texture when planted in groups among other stem plants. Like other fine-leaved Rotala, it prefers good lighting, CO2 injection, and a good nutrient supply. Fast growth makes regular trimming necessary — an imbalance of nutrients can lead to stunted growth or discolored leaves.

Care & Planting: Cut the stem and replant to propagate. Handle gently — 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.
