Rotala fujianensis, also known as Rotala Fujian, is a striking stem plant from China, known for its vibrant green leaves that often develop reddish tones under optimal light conditions. It’s a moderately easy plant to grow in aquariums, offering a dense, bushy appearance that makes it an excellent midground or background plant. It requires moderate light, stable water conditions, and benefits greatly from CO₂ supplementation for faster growth and richer colors.
