Rotala Singapore
Rotala sp. 'Singapore'
Family: Lythraceae
A compact Rotala with narrow, lance-shaped leaves that turn a warm orange-red under good light and CO₂. Slower and more compact than R. rotundifolia, making it easier to maintain as a neat midground or background plant without constant trimming. The red-orange colouration develops even at moderate light levels with CO₂, making it more accessible than demanding species like R. macrandra. A versatile choice for adding red tones to mid-sized scapes.
