Rotala Macranda 'Mini Type 4' - 5 Stems

Rotala macrandra ‘Type 4 Mini’

Rotala macrandra ‘Type 4 Mini’ is a rare and compact variant of the classic Rotala macrandra, valued for its smaller leaves and vibrant coloration. Compared to the standard macrandra, this variety stays more compact and produces finer foliage, making it ideal for detailed aquascaping layouts where scale and texture are important.

Under strong lighting and proper nutrient conditions, Rotala macrandra ‘Type 4 Mini’ can develop beautiful shades of red to pink, creating a striking highlight in planted aquariums. When trimmed regularly, it forms dense, colorful bushes that add depth and contrast to aquascapes.

Care Tips

• Lighting: High (important for strong coloration and compact growth)

• CO₂: Highly recommended

• Placement: Midground

• Growth Rate: Moderate

• Propagation: Trim stems and replant the tops to create new plants

Aquascaping Notes

Rotala macrandra ‘Type 4 Mini’ is often used as a color accent plant in nature-style and Dutch-style aquascapes. Its smaller leaf size makes it especially suitable for nano tanks and detailed layouts where a refined plant scale is desired.

Please note that plant size, number of stems, and coloration may vary slightly as these are natural aquatic plants.
