I have Rotala growing in the local lakes, canels here in South Florida, looks like a forest of Red/Green/yellow in the natural sunlight. Very beautiful!
@@patriciamoldovan3092 I live in Golden Gate Estates in Naples and all the canals are loaded with this plant (ROTALA INDICIA). It grows like mad in a tank too. Light doesn't seem to be an issue. I pull it straight from the canal with roots. It starts growing within a day!
Have indica in a couple of my aquariums. In one of them, it basically won’t do anything at all but in the other one, it’s forming a nice little forest area
Planted some rotala hra tissue culture couple weeks ago. Fun to watch it convert to submerged growth. Bought some of your water lettuce last week. Shrimp loving it
Thanks! I was actually looking for info on how to plant it - like how to take it out of that little planter you’re holding, if I should pull it all apart, etc.
Please do a video series of plants for foreground, midground and background plants that don’t require CO2. That would be greatly appreciated. I am a complete newb but hoping to do a 10 gallon and a 55 gallon tank aquascape.
I'm growing Rotala Walichii in plain gravel with medium lighting and it's doing great and retaining much of the pink coloration. As it is fast growing, I've been able to propagate it throughout the aquarium. The only trouble is that it collects bits of uneaten food and hair algea has begun to grow. The fish love swimming through its bristles. So far it's my favorite stem plant. Thanks for the info. I'll try rotala indica eventually.
I'm trying to figure out what this plant is specifically doing to my water, I'm struggling to find information about the exact science of this plant, what it takes out of the water, and what it puts back into it, do you have any source of information regarding this?
I have Rotala in my tank, I trying to grow a dutch tank but my Rotala is growing outwards not upwards, I have co2 and I dose seachem fertz everyday, I have 2 fluval 3.0 lights and I am wondering if its because the lights are too bright...which I have my blues set to 3% my reds are at 80% , cold whites are 100% and pure whites are at 100% and orange at 20%

My shrimp LOVE this plant! They are always all over it. So happy I bought it!
Thanks for the info, just got my first rotala. I appreciate the tip about trimming it to create bushy plants.

Merry Christmas where ever you are These days

"more ovular" - the right way to say that lol. Love the video, keep them up. See you at AE!

Rotala is second most weediest based on my experience. It's elodea that took the cake for me.

I love the idea of making a Tree with rotala on it for the leaves. Curious how I'd do that?
thank you!

CaN rotalia grow in gravel substrate.what do I need to do.
This plant grows about an inch a day for me, under high light and Co2
I had some rotala rotundifolia, but it never got going & died off. I think my Lemon Tetras were eating it
bro you did not really give that much info on how to take care of rotala indicia ...
I'm curious if it can thrive in an aquarium with water wisteria, what are it's food demands?
In my tank water wisteria is growing very fast but rotala is not growing... :(
Pogestemon stellatus octopus is very weeedy
how tall does it get IF left alone & not trimmed?
12-15 Inches
Is this same with rotala rotundifolia?
Actually this is rotala rotundifolia, rotala indica is what was previously known an ammania sp.bonsai
Its rotala rotundifolia, not indica. There is wrong name with this two plants
