Rotala indica 'Bonsai'

Rotala indica 'Bonsai' is a compact, moderately growing stem plant that Tropica describes as a compact version of Bacopa caroliniana.

It is particularly suitable for nano aquariums. On Tropica's difficulty scale it is a medium plant (Medium).

According to Tropica, after two months in the aquarium the plant is on average 5–20 cm tall or more. The plant grows slowly. Light demand is medium. CO2 demand is medium. It is a cultivar, a form bred in cultivation.

Plant it in small groups and trim often; cuttings can be replanted in the group for a denser group or a carpet. At high light the stem tips may turn reddish, at lower light the leaves are larger and the plant less compact.

The plant is sold in a 1-2 Grow cup.
