Rotala Ammania 'Bonsai' - 5 Stems

Ammannia sp. ‘Bonsai’

Ammannia sp. ‘Bonsai’ is a compact and elegant stem plant known for its small, rounded leaves and naturally bushy growth. Its dense structure and fine leaf size make it ideal for creating miniature tree-like groups or tight plant clusters in aquascapes, giving layouts a refined and detailed appearance.

Under proper lighting and good nutrient availability, Ammannia ‘Bonsai’ maintains a vibrant green color and very compact growth. With regular trimming, it can form thick, low bushes that work perfectly in the foreground to midground areas of planted aquariums.

Care Tips

• Lighting: Medium to High (promotes compact growth)

• CO₂: Recommended for healthy and dense growth

• Placement: Foreground to Midground

• Growth Rate: Slow to Moderate

• Propagation: Trim stems and replant the cuttings to create new clusters

Aquascaping Notes

Ammannia ‘Bonsai’ is widely used in nature-style and Iwagumi-inspired aquascapes because of its ability to form neat, bonsai-like bushes. It pairs beautifully with carpeting plants, mosses, and stones to create detailed and balanced layouts.

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