Rotala Blood Red is a vibrant stem plant prized for its deep red coloration, especially under high light conditions. This aquatic plant thrives in moderate to high-light setups with nutrient-rich substrates and regular fertilization. Plant stems in bunches, spacing them 1–2 inches apart, and trim regularly to encourage bushier growth. It adapts well to temperatures between 72–82°F and benefits from added CO2 for optimal color development. Ideal for mid-ground placement in planted aquariums, Rotala Blood Red creates striking visual contrast and supports a healthy aquatic ecosystem.
