Description
Rotala rotundifolia "Green" is also known as Rotala sp. "Green". In contrast to "standard" R. rotundifolia, the "Green" variant never turns reddish but keeps its fresh green colour even under very strong light. The plant has an attractive bushy elegantly overhanging growth habit. An occasional thorough trimming is recommendable, as this plant is a very fast grower. Amano masterfully uses the characteristic overhanging growth habit of this Rotala in many of his aquascapes.
