Rotala ramosior Florida

Rotala ramosior ‘Florida’ is a rare and highly decorative aquarium stem plant valued for its compact growth and attractive coloration. Under good conditions, the growing tips can develop pink, reddish, or purple shades, creating a striking accent in the aquarium.

It is a relatively slow-growing plant that produces slender, upright stems. It is best planted in groups in the midground or background. Regular trimming encourages lateral shoots and helps create a dense, attractive group.

Care requirements:

• Type: Stem plant
• Placement: Midground / background
• Lighting: Medium to high
• CO₂: Recommended for active growth and vibrant coloration
• Temperature: Approximately 22–28 °C
• pH: 5.5–7.5
• Hardness: Soft to medium
• Growth rate: Slow to moderate
  
  

For healthy growth and good coloration, the plant requires sufficient lighting, a stable CO₂ supply, and balanced nutrition. Under favorable conditions, the growing tips develop more intense coloration.

Tip: To create a dense bush, regularly trim the growing tips and replant healthy cuttings next to the mother plants.
