Rotala macrandra ‘Green’ in Vitro Culture Delicate Stem Plant with Light Lime-Green Foliage for Flowing Aquascapes
Rotala macrandra ‘Green’ is a delicate and eye-catching stem plant featuring soft, rounded leaves in light green to lime hues. Unlike its red-colored relatives, this variant retains a vibrant green tone even under intense light, making it perfect for aquascapers who prefer a lush, flowing aesthetic without overwhelming color. Its gracefully arching stems and fine texture add movement, softness, and layering to both Dutch and nature-style layouts.
Now available in our sterile Vitro Culture 4-inch bag, this plant is propagated through Tissue Culture Technology, ensuring a 100% pest-free, algae-free, and pesticide-free start. Ideal for sensitive tanks, shrimp setups, and aquascapes where purity and precision matter.
