Available in different options:
- Bunch (4-6 stems)
- Potted (rooted in rockwool)
An easy care plant, Rotala sp. Vietnam H'ra can get tall, so be sure to add it towards the back of your aquarium! Don't let any floaters block its light!
When it gets plenty of good lighting, Rotala sp. Vietnam H'ra will start to 'pearl' oxygen. It's stunning!
The plants I will send you have been grown with higher lights for best health. The plants in my photos show what they will look like in a few weeks of moderate light and no co2 in your tanks.
You may even consider adding Iron supplementation and fertilizers. While not strictly necessary, This plant fits right into a higher-tech aquarium!
Rotalas are generally emergent-growing plants, which means they'll grow right up and out of your water! The leaf structure will change as well, which makes a very cool bog-type effect. This is how I grow them so that they fare best on their way to you!
Bunch format: 4-6 collected stems. Stems are 4-8" tall, and may be branched and rooted.
Potted format: Rooted in rockwool pot
Growing requirements:
- 65-80 Degrees Fahrenheit
- Ph 6-8
- Medium to High light intensity
- Medium-Fast growth
- Gets leggier, and more green with lower light
- Co2 not necessary, but recommended for best color
As I like to keep real ecosystems in my aquariums, there’s always a chance of harmless hitchhikers like snails or dwarf shrimp tagging along with your plants!
I personally keep several beneficial snail species in my tanks, including Colorful Ramshorns, Bronze Bladder and Pond Snails, Mini Rams, and Malaysian Trumpet Snails. These snails stay relatively small, help clean the aquarium, and do not eat healthy plants or cause harm. However, if you’d rather avoid any hitchhikers, I highly recommend checking out our blog on how to safely disinfect aquarium plants before adding them to your tank:

All plants are freshly snipped or harvested and packed right before shipment. I take great care in preparing every order and use methods that have consistently produced the best results over many years in the hobby. A lot of love goes into every package, so please don’t leave your plants sitting in a hot mailbox for too long 🙏
Thank you for looking, aqua friends! 💚
