Description
Rotala Macrandra is a dramatic back or mid-ground stem plant with red leaves that make a striking contrast to the usual green foliage. This plant can be difficult to grow since it requires very higher levels of light and nutrients. Without sufficient lighting, the plant’s bottom leaves will shrivel and fall off. In its emersed state, leaves will grow prostrate and have a green color. The submerged version will grow upright and have a deep red color. Given the proper growing conditions, Rotala Macrandra grows quickly.
