Rotala vietnam 'HRA' is a popular stem plant highly valued for its narrow leaves and intense orange-to-red coloration. It is a faster-growing variety that adds a vibrant splash of color to any freshwater aquascape.
To maintain its signature red color, this plant requires high light intensity and consistent CO2 supplementation. Regular pruning is necessary to prevent the lower parts of the stems from losing leaves due to shading.
High lighting is essential. Under low light, the plant will remain green or pale orange and may become leggy.
Best placed in the background or midground. Due to its fast growth, it can quickly fill up the back of the tank, creating a dense, colorful screen.
Propagation is simple: cut the top shoots or side shoots and replant them into the substrate. The remaining bottom part will soon produce new side branches.
