Description
Rotala Vietnam H’ra is a stunning stem plant known for its fine leaves and fiery orange-to-red coloration. Unlike most Rotalas, this variety tends to grow low and horizontally under strong light—making it a favorite for midground clusters or even sloping foreground accents.
With its vivid color and graceful form, H’ra adds movement and warmth to aquascapes, especially when planted densely. It’s perfect for high-energy layouts and nature-style tanks that need a bold splash of red.
Care and Planting Directions
Plant stems in rich substrate with spacing between each stem to let light reach the lower growth. Requires high light and CO₂ to stay compact and colorful—under lower light, it may grow taller and greener. Trim regularly and replant tops to create bushy, crawling growth across the aquascape.
