Rotala indica 'Bonsai'

Rotala indica 'Bonsai' is a beautiful compact stem plant, prized for its small rounded leaves, slow growth, and naturally bushy appearance. Its unique growth habit makes it perfect for creating dense midground bushes or adding structure and contrast to an aquascape.

With regular trimming, it forms a lush, compact mound that works exceptionally well in nature-style and Iwagumi layouts. Under higher lighting, the foliage can develop attractive bronze to reddish tones on the upper growth.

Supplied without pot.
