C30 Rotala rotundifolia ‘Green’ – Hardy Green Stem Aquarium Plant

C30 Rotala rotundifolia ‘Green’ is a classic and reliable aquarium plant known for its lush green coloration, fast growth, and high adaptability.

The plant grows upright and branches easily when trimmed, allowing aquascapers to create dense, bushy plant groups. It adapts well to a wide range of water conditions and benefits from nutrient-rich substrate and regular fertilization. While CO₂ is optional, supplementation encourages faster growth and fuller plant structure. Rotala rotundifolia ‘Green’ is completely shrimp-safe and fish-safe, making it suitable for community aquariums, nature-style layouts, and beginner setups.
