Rotala h’ra is a new plant to the hobby that makes a delicate and dramatic back or mid-ground accent. This stem plant has profuse thin, pointed red or orange leaves that typically grow from an ascending rather than upright stem. Hailing from the central region of Vietnam, this plant is likely a variation of the species Rotala rotundifolia. Moderate to high lighting will yield the most vivid coloration in these plants. This plant can be grown emersed or submersed. To achieve propagation take a cutting from one of the plant’s side shoots or axial roots and re-plant into the substrate.
