Rotala Nanjenshan | SD-2

Rotala Nanjenshan (Rotala sp. ‘Nanjenshan’) is a delicate freshwater stem plant known for its fine, needle-like leaves and soft, wispy appearance. Its leaves can range from light green to pink and orange-red, with stronger lighting and CO encouraging more intense coloration. Rotala Nanjenshan is best suited to planted aquariums where it can receive consistent nutrients and good water circulation. Regular trimming encourages branching and helps maintain a dense, attractive group. It works particularly well in the midground of small to medium-sized aquariums and adds fine texture and color to aquascapes.
