Rotala rotundifolia ‘Platinum’

Description

Rotala Rotundifolia Platinum is an extremely rare variant of the well known and favorite Rotala stem plant. This all-white aquatic plant is a rare mutation that occurs in the generally green or red variants of Rotala Rotundifolia.

Propagation is like any other aquatic stem plant, simply cut anywhere along the stem and replace it. This plant grows relatively fast so frequent pruning is recommended to keep it growing thick and prevent the bottom leaves from getting starved off of lighting.
