What you will receive:
Selected number of strands Rotala Indica
Ceramic rings are provided, but are removed to avoid damage in the post.
Normally delivered within 3 – 5 days but on occasion this maybe delayed which is why this was extended for delivery.
Rotala indica is an excellent aquarium plant that prefers good water quality with pH of 6.0-7.5, hardness of 3-8 dGH and temperature between 72 and 82° F. Enjoys high light and nutrients with CO2 and then grows quickly. Lighting should be 3 to 5 watts per gallon, planted directly in the substrate of sand or small gravel. Regular pruning required to keep its shape. Lean nitrate levels (~5 mg/l), high phosphate levels (~1.5-2 mg/l), and heavy, regular dosing of iron and trace elements will produce intense coloration and growth.
Important
Plants are incubated in a soultion of 0.01% of the insecticide Buprafezin for one hour (Please do not just drop these in a shrimp tank or with any other crustacean. To use these within a tank please wash in water with baking soda under light. These are treated to remove the insecticide but there are cases where this has not been fully removed causing casualty’s in crustacean.
The Listing in under construction and this will be brought up to standard Asap.

Far from creeping, this fast growing North American native will provide a quick cover for fish. Olive-green leaves are reddish on the underside and form large mats of foliage. In ponds, they produce brilliant yellow flowers. Plants can survive with only three hours of direct sunlight each day but they prefer as much as possible. They grow natively along streams, swamps, and around ponds and can be invasive in earth-bottom ponds. Plants can be submerged in up to four inches of water. These are good for indoor aquariums too! The plant typically grows to a height of 12 to 20 inches. The width of each stem is about 2 to 3 inches, based on leaf growth. In order to achieve strong shoots the substrate should be nutrient rich and light intensity high. The red color is more intense if proper lighting is provided. Three to five strong specimens can be used for the mid to background area. Ludwigia repens can grow well in both very soft and hard water although soft, slightly acidic water is best. Optimum growth temperature is 75 to 79 degrees, although it can grow in temps from 59 to 79 degrees.
