Rotala macranda "Butterfly"

Rotala macranda Butterfly is a smaller version of Rotala macranda red. This plant displays short, pointed leaves that are pink to orange to intense red with deep red stems in ideal conditions. It is perfectly placed in the mid-ground of aquariums where its vibrant colours and unique leaf shape will create an interesting focal point.

It is a moderately difficult plant to grow, requiring intense light, regular micronutrient fertilisation, soft water and injected CO2 to thrive.
