Rotala H’ra

Rotala H’ra is a striking freshwater aquarium plant prized for its intense red and pink hues, which create a dramatic focal point in aquascapes. Its delicate, narrow leaves grow densely along upright stems, making it ideal for midground or background planting.

Rotala H’ra grows relatively quickly under moderate to high lighting and benefits from nutrient-rich substrates and CO₂ supplementation to maintain its vibrant coloration. The stems can be trimmed and propagated easily, allowing aquarists to shape the plant and encourage bushier growth.

This plant thrives in stable freshwater conditions and is moderately easy to care for, though its bright red tones are most vivid with good lighting and consistent nutrients. Its fine, colorful leaves provide natural shelter for fish, shrimp, and fry while enhancing the overall aesthetics of the tank.

With its vivid red foliage, upright growth, and adaptability, Rotala H’ra is a favorite among aquascaping enthusiasts looking to add color, texture, and depth to freshwater planted aquariums.
