Tropica Rotala macrandra CUP

Great Rotala is a robust stem plant beauty with a dark, red colour. However, it only develops this if you allow it to have strong lighting. Soft water and CO2 additions are necessary for optimal growth. In group plantings, it looks impressive and creates exciting contrasts - a compact central and background plant that blends harmoniously into lush and purist layouts.

• Light requirement: partially shaded to sunny
• Optimal temperature: 18 to 30°C
• Water values: very soft to medium-hard
• pH value: 4 to 7

Our expert Oliver Knott recommends:
This Rotala is a favourite of many aquascaping fans planning deep-penetrating landscapes. This stem plant also enriches layouts in the Dutch style with its robust appearance in a colourful robe.

Note: The cups are grown in the laboratory. Aquatic plants from the so-called in vitro culture are grown sterile. They are therefore also suitable for sensitive animals such as dwarf shrimp and can be used immediately. With in vitro plants, there are no stowaways such as snails or parasites, and pesticides are also completely avoided.
