Rotala Vietnam is a graceful stem plant that brings fine texture and natural movement to aquascapes. Its slender, needle-like leaves and bushy growth pattern offer a soft and flowing appearance that enhances the depth and balance of freshwater planted tanks. Native to Asia, this fast-growing species adapts beautifully to aquascaping styles ranging from minimalistic Iwagumi layouts to lush, Dutch-inspired tanks.
Unlike Rotala HRA, which displays bold red tones, Rotala Vietnam displays lighter coloration. Its leaves range from fresh green to pinkish-red hues depending on lighting, CO₂ levels, and nutrients. This makes it versatile for aquascapers who want subtle contrast and elegance rather than striking, deep reds.

Aquascaping Applications:
Rotala Vietnam excels in creating soft, textured backgrounds and midground accents. Plant in groups of 5-10 stems for maximum visual impact. Regular trimming encourages bushier growth and maintains the desired shape. The fine needle-like leaves create beautiful contrast against broader-leaved plants and add natural movement to your aquascape. Perfect for aquascapers seeking elegant, subtle color transitions rather than bold reds.
