Rotala Indica 'Bonsai,' also known as the true Rotala Indica, is often confused with Rotala Rotundifolia, a completely different species. Originally introduced as Ammannia sp. 'Bonsai,' its true identity was confirmed by Cavan Allen in 2009.

Distinctive Features: Rotala Indica 'Bonsai' is characterized by its thick, round leaves, with the tips turning a beautiful reddish hue under strong lighting. Unlike Rotala Rotundifolia, which tends to creep under intense light, Rotala Indica 'Bonsai' grows straight and upright, making it a striking addition to any aquascape.

Growth and Care: This plant is highly versatile, thriving in various aquarium settings. It is particularly popular in Street/Dutch-style aquariums and is ideal for small to nano tanks. Rotala Indica 'Bonsai' looks best when planted in small to medium groups, creating a lush and vibrant display.

Aquascaping Uses:

  • Dutch-Style Aquariums: Perfect for creating structured, layered layouts.
  • Nano Tanks: Its compact size makes it an excellent choice for smaller aquariums.
  • Group Planting: Grows beautifully in clusters, adding depth and color to your aquascape.

      WHAT WE CAN'T GUARANTEE

      Even though our plants are very clean, but we can't guarantee they will be 100% pest-free because we cannot be responsible for your aquarium. Please use it at your own risk. We recommended all customers rinse the plants with clean water and quarantine them before use.

      However, plants in tissue culture will be 100% free from pests, algae and never have been contacting with any aquarium.

      1. Due to the nature of the product. We don't guarantee our plants will be pests free. ( snails, algae, hitchhikers )
      2. We don't guarantee our plants will be free of pesticides. We use homemade, organic pesticides in our greenhouse to control pests. We do not use pesticides that contain copper. Copper is toxic to invertebrates such as aquatic snails, crabs, shrimps, etc
      3. We don't guarantee your aquarium success or are responsible for your aquarium inhabitant including but not limited to fish, shrimp, snail, turtle, etc. So please quarantine all plants when use!
      4. Unless specific, we don't guarantee aquatic plants will be grow emerged or submerge.

      Please review your state's regulations on restricted plants, as we are committed to not shipping plants that are restricted in your area. Do not release any plants into the wild or waterways, as this can harm local ecosystems by introducing invasive species.

      Your cooperation in protecting the environment is appreciated. For continuously updated information, refer to the USDA State Noxious Weed list here.

      Sturdy

      This is a good-looking sturdy stem plant, I purchased them about 2 weeks ago, package was delivered 3 days later and very well packed. They went in to a holding tank and we're absolutely thriving from the start, didn't dose CO2 or ferts. It went into a relatively new tank (about a month old). Bonus, they also started flowering underwater! Small little purple flowers! I really want more of them
