ADA Rotala sp. "Wayanad"

This Rotala was apparently found in the Wayanad district in the Indian state Kerala. It is probably a local form of Rotala rotundifolia with especially delicate, narrow, yellow-green submerged foliage. It tends very much to horizontal growth under strong lighting.

We recommend medium to strong lighting, CO₂ addition and regular macro- and micronutrient supply. Probably Rotala sp. "Wayanad" has similarly low demands as standard Rotala rotundifolia.

This little known Rotala from India looks especially well as a bushy stand in the aquarium midground.
