Aquascaping Notes

Rotala ‘Mini Butterfly’ works well in nature-style and Dutch-style aquascapes, where its colorful leaves provide contrast among green plants. Frequent trimming helps create thick bushes and maintain a clean aquascape layout.

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