Grown in-vitro in a sterile lab, this Tissue Culture cup of Rotala Rotundifolia arrives free of pests, algae, and snails. The most versatile and easiest-to-grow Rotala species — vigorous and undemanding even under moderate light without supplemental CO2, though it responds beautifully to better conditions with dense, bronze-and-pink-toned growth.

Care & Planting: Rinse tissue culture gel off before planting. Responds well to heavy trimming — becomes a dense, full bush.
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.
