Rotala macrandra is an unusually beautiful aquarium plant, but unfortunately it is very demanding. It needs very good light to develop its beautiful red colour, and CO2 addition and soft water are vital to ensure reasonable growth. It is most beautiful in groups, but do not plant individual shoots too close because this will prevent light reaching the lower leaves. To ensure good colour there must be sufficient micronutrients in the water.

Sofia ★★★★★

Took a bit of fiddling with my CO2 levels, but once I got it dialed in, the leaves started turning that deep crimson everyone talks about. Even in soft water, it's put out steady new growth without melting back.

Emma ★★★★★

After a week under my strong light setup, the tips are already showing that deep wine-red hue I was chasing—it's genuinely striking. Yes, it needs CO2 and soft water, but if you can give it that, the color payoff is absolutely worth the extra effort.

Stella O. ★★★★★

Finally, a Rotala macrandra that arrived healthy and intact, with strong roots that took hold immediately. The color started deepening to a rich red within a week under my high lights and CO2. A tiny bit of melting on lower leaves, but the new growth is phenomenal.
