High lighting and consistent CO2 injection are key to unlocking its signature pink-red colouration. Use a nutrient-rich substrate and supplement with liquid fertilisers, particularly iron, to keep the colours vivid. Plant in dense groups of 5–7 stems for a lush, flowing effect, and trim regularly from the top to encourage bushy, compact growth. Soft, slightly acidic water will bring out the best in this beautiful plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fast dispatch across Australia with careful packaging to ensure your plants arrive healthy and ready to plant.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"School Of Scape","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53731729735994,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/1003\/5770\/files\/4c7aa42e-f707-42c0-b068-dbff0857dcb9.png?v=1784010301","url":"https:\/\/schoolofscape.com.au\/products\/rotala-mexicana","provider":"School Of Scape","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
