Description

Rotala macrandra 'Mini Type 4' is a small-leaved delicate red variant of Rotala macrandra. The leaves are longish-ovoid to roundish. This plant appears like a miniature version of the broad-leaf, long known regular form of R. macrandra.

As well as other forms of the South Indian species Rotala macrandra, 'Mini Type 4', also spelled 'Mini Type IV', grows best with strong lighting, rather soft water, CO2 concentrations above 20 mg/l and temperatures between 24 and 28 °C. A regular, well-balanced macro- and micronutrient supply via the water column is important. The stems are best planted into a group, with a little space to each other. As well as other stem plants, this Rotala is propagated by cuttings of the stem tips and side shoots.

Submers

Rotala macrandra 'Mini Type 4' - in Vitro

I received this plant and for the first time with Aquasabi I have not been 100% satisfied. A little bit old cup. Not a good smell and not sure that it will survive. (read more)
