Rotala Red Cross - 10 Stems

Rotala ‘Red Cross’

Rotala ‘Red Cross’ is a vibrant and eye-catching stem plant known for its striking red to orange coloration under strong lighting. Its slender stems and fine leaves create a soft texture that adds depth and contrast to planted aquariums, making it a beautiful highlight among green plants.

With good lighting, nutrients, and stable water conditions, Rotala ‘Red Cross’ develops deeper red tones and compact growth. Regular trimming encourages the plant to branch out, forming dense and colorful bushes that enhance the overall structure of an aquascape.

• CO₂: Recommended for compact growth and vibrant colors

• Placement: Midground to Background

• Growth Rate: Moderate to Fast

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

Aquascaping Notes

Rotala ‘Red Cross’ is often used in nature-style and Dutch-style aquascapes as a colorful accent plant. When planted in clusters and trimmed regularly, it forms thick bushes that create dramatic color contrast and visual depth in planted layouts.
