Rotala RED CROSS – Live Aquarium Plant Rotala sp. ‘Red Cross’ is a rare and eye-catching stem plant known for its unique cross-like leaf arrangement and vibrant red coloration. Under high lighting and ample CO₂, this plant develops intense reddish-pink tones that create a bold visual accent in any aquascape. With its compact, upright growth and structured look, it’s perfect for midground to background planting in high-impact layouts. Key Features: 🌿 Elegant Leaf Structure: Features pairs of narrow, elongated leaves arranged in an opposite, cross-like pattern along the stem—hence the name “Red Cross.” 🌿 Dynamic Coloration: Bright green in low to moderate light; shifts to deep red or pink under strong lighting and iron-rich conditions. 🌿 Versatile Placement: Best used in the midground or background to add color contrast and structure to planted tanks. Care Requirements: ● Lighting: High light is essential for deep red coloration. ● Substrate: Prefers nutrient-rich aquarium soil. ● CO₂ Supplementation: Strongly recommended for compact growth and color development. ● Fertilization: Regular dosing of iron and micronutrients enhances color and health. Water Parameters: ● Temperature: 22–28°C (72–82°F) ● pH: 5.5–7.5 (slightly acidic to neutral) Planting and Maintenance: ● Planting: Space stems 2–3 cm apart using aquascaping tweezers for fuller coverage. ● Maintenance: Trim frequently to maintain density; replant healthy cuttings for propagation. Benefits: ✅ Rare and visually striking with structured growth ✅ Adds bold red contrast to aquascapes ✅ Improves water quality by taking up excess nutrients ⚠️ DISCLAIMER: Rotala sp. ‘Red Cross’ from Gwen’s Aquakitz is provided as fresh, emersed-grown stem cuttings. Some leaf melt or color change is normal during transition to submerged growth.
