Indica Rotala 'Bonsai' is a rare and difficult to obtain plant that should not be mistaken with the more common Rotala Indica. This plant develops considerably slowly than other stem plants and may be appropriate for smaller tanks. This plant is regarded more difficult to care for and is not recommended for novices. It frequently melts when planted immersed, therefore growing it emersed initially is beneficial.
The tips of the stems will develop a reddish orange tint when exposed to bright illumination, CO2, and fertilizers.
