🌿 Rotala Green Yellow (Rotala sp. 'Green Yellow')
Bright Greenish-Yellow Leaves • Fast-Growing, Bushy Stem Plant • A Fresh, Glowing Accent
📋 Rotala Green Yellow brings a fresh, glowing lime colour to planted tanks. Its fine leaves stay a bright greenish-yellow even under strong light, standing out clearly from ordinary green plants and lifting darker layouts. It branches freely into a full, bushy, softly arching group, and it looks best planted in large groups in the background, especially beside red Rotalas for a vivid colour contrast.
It's fast-growing, forgiving and an ideal starter plant. It grows in low to moderate light, with CO2 recommended for the densest growth, and every trim sends out new side shoots for a fuller, bushier group.
It's a freshwater plant, suited to freshwater aquariums.
