Rotala Sp. “H’ra”
This fast growing stem plant displays narrow, densely set leaves with rounded tips that are green to a dusky pink-orange to red in colour when ideal conditions are met. Rotala Sp. “H’ra” sends out shoots regularly, and with frequent trimming and replanting of tops will quickly fill out an aquarium midground with a dense and colourful hedge. It is perfectly placed next to other Rotala species as a contrast.
It is easy to grow, requiring moderate to intense lighting, regular fertilisation and CO2 injection to achieve its most vibrant colours.

Rotala sp. "H'Ra" or "Gia Lai" is a new plant from Vietnam. It is probably a local variant of the species Rotala rotundifolia. The plant has been named after its location H'Ra in the province of Gia Lai in central Vietnam. Rotala sp. "H'Ra" / "Gia Lai" has narrow leaves and develops a nice light orange to red colour under good lighting. It has the same elegant growth habit as the light green Rotala sp. "Green": overhanging to horizontal ramified stems. When combined with Rotala sp. "Green", Rotala sp. "H'Ra" will be especially effective. R. sp. "H'Ra" / "Gia Lai" differs from the similar Rotala sp. "Colorata" by lighter-coloured narrower leaves and more overhanging stems when cultivated under the same conditions.
