Rotala Nanjenshan

🌿 Rotala nanjenshan – Light, Lush & Wonderfully Delicate

Rotala Nanjenshan is a beautiful and unique stem plant that brings a soft, flowing texture to any aquascape. With its fine, needle-like leaves and bright green coloration, this plant creates a light and airy feel, perfect for adding depth and contrast in the midground or background of your aquarium.

Native to Taiwan, Rotala nanjenshan is a hybrid species that combines the appearance of Rotala wallichii with the easy care of Rotala rotundifolia. It grows in bushy clusters, making it ideal for softening hardscape lines or adding gentle movement to your layout.

While this plant can adapt to moderate lighting, it truly shines under high light and CO₂, which encourage compact, full growth and a slightly reddish hue at the tips.
