🌿 Rotala Vietnam (Rotala sp. 'Vietnam')
Fine, Needle-Like Leaves on Red-Brown Stems • Soft, Bushy Stem Plant • An Eye-Catching Midground Feature
 
📋 Rotala Vietnam is a fine-leaved, beautifully coloured stem plant. Its long, slender, needle-like leaves grow on distinctive red-brown stems, and under good light the tips warm to soft golden and orange-pink tones. It grows into soft, feathery bushes that make a real eye-catcher in the midground, and in stem-plant-heavy aquascapes it works beautifully in the background too, contrasting with both red and green plants.
It grows fast and rewards a well-kept tank. Give it good light, soft water, steady nutrients and CO2, and trim it regularly; replanted tops quickly fill out into dense, colourful bushes.
It's a freshwater plant, suited to freshwater aquariums.
