A beautiful fine leave plant that is medium hard to grow, it requires a well run tank with good C02, NPK, TE & Fe, soft water is a must to bring out it's glory, in the right conditions it will have a rich gold color with a deep red stem.
Very similar to Rotala wallichii this plant is a good C02 indicator, it will become very ratty looking if gas is inadequate.
Propagation is easy, it will produce many side shoots, top and replant, leaving the bottom half intact for additional stems.

This is definitely a fast grower and is probably one of the fastest-growing plants I've had experience with. It's a beautiful background plant that can add great contrast to plants with its thin, almost feather-like leaves. In higher light, it's a more golden color. Otherwise, it has very bright leaves and a nice contrast-colored, red stem.
