Rotala h’ra is a famous  plant in  the aquascaping hobby that makes a delicate, yet dramatic back or mid-ground accent. When grown submerged, this stem plant has profuse thin, pointed red or orange leaves that typically grow from an ascending stem. Hailing from the central region of Vietnam, this plant is likely a variation of the species Rotala rotundifolia. Moderate to high lighting and low nitrates will yield the most vivid coloration in these plants. This plant can be grown emersed or submersed. When grown submerged, CO2 is highly recommended to achieve the best results. To achieve propagation take a cutting from one of the plant’s side shoots or axial roots and re-plant into the substrate.
