Introducing Canton Aquatics Rotala HRa "Vietnam" - The Perfect Plant for Aquascapes!

Enhance your aquatic layout with Rotala "Vietnam." This versatile plant is ideal for the mid to background of any aquarium, especially if you love using stem plants to create captivating aquascapes. 

Rotala "Vietnam" offers a stunning contrast to both red and green colored plants, adding depth and visual interest to your tank. 

To achieve optimal results, provide moderate lighting for lush green foliage with striking red stems. For a golden hue that truly pops, intense lighting is recommended. Don't forget to supplement with CO2 for thriving growth. 

Maintaining the right phosphate levels (1-2 ppm) is crucial for encouraging taller stems, shorter internodes, and vibrant reddish tones. Additionally, iron and micronutrient dosing is vital to ensure the overall health of this species. 

Keep an eye on any iron deficiencies, as they can cause the plant to become small and pale. In extreme cases, the meristem may even die off. 

Similar to Rotala wallichii, Rotala sp. "Vietnam" grows vertically and produces numerous lateral shoots. If allowed, long shoots can gracefully emerge along the water surface, adding a touch of elegance to your aquarium. 

To propagate, simply make cuttings of the top or lateral shoots and replant them in the substrate. It's that easy! 

Choose Rotala "Vietnam" for its striking beauty and uncomplicated care. Enhance your aquascape today!
