Aquatic Plants
READ ME: Our aquarium plants vary in growth forms and will require time to transition to submerged or emersed conditions. We do our best to clean and inspect all plants prior to shipping but do not guarantee them to be snail free unless tissue culture is purchased.
Tissue culture plants are cultivated in sterile lab settings ensuring your plant is free from pests, snails and algae! These are young specimen that are grown in emersed forms. Gel should always be removed prior to planting.
Live plants are susceptible to stress and damage from transit. - This may appear in the form of minimal melt, leaf loss, cosmetic damage, etc. Refunds or replacements will not be issued for plants with viable root systems or that die out of our care.

Rotala Mexicana is a beautiful variation of Rotala. This aquarium stem plant features thin foliage that varies in shades of green to orange-red depending on care and overall environment. Like other forms of Rotala, Rotala Mexicana will appreciate a nutrient-dense aquarium soil along with softer water, quality lighting, CO2 injection and a premium source of nutrition via dosing. When given optimal care, Rotala Mexicana is a prolific grower and will require periodic trimming to ensure lower portions of the plant are receiving light. Pruning should also be done to maintain the desired look and any offshoots can be replanted into the soil to produce a bushy appearance.
Like other aquarium stem plants, Rotala Mexicana can be grown in emersed conditions. When kept out of submerged aquarium settings, Rotala Mexicana exhibits a different form. Emersed leaves are slightly rounded, primarily green in color and tend to be more wide spread along the central stem. Differences in form can be seen in the photos.
