Rotala Macrandra Yellow Aquatic Farmer Tissue Culture Aquatic Farmer

Common Name: Rotala Macrandra, Rotala Yellow 

Rotala Macrandra Yellow is a beautiful aquarium plant that is highly enjoyed by enthusiasts. Like most Rotala species, its delicate and dramatic appearance makes for a bold mid-ground to background aquatic plant choice. Its only downside, subjectively, is that is quite demanding and requires specific care to flourish. High lighting must be used to yield vivid coloration and CO2 injection is very beneficial for the health of this species. When planting Rotala Macrandra Yellow, ample space should be left in between to ensure all areas of the plant receive good lighting and consistent pruning will be necessary. To achieve propagation, take a cutting from one of the plant’s side shoots or axial roots and re-plant it into quality aquarium soil. 

Notes:

• Rotala has fragile leaves! Be sure to handle with care. 
• Final coloration is ultimately dependent upon the conditions this plant is kept in. This is a live plant meaning size, shape and color may vary.
• Do not make drastic changes to the aquarium. Unstable parameters will result in melt and rotting of the aquarium plant.
• Tissue culture plants are grown in vitro from a state of the art laboratory specialized in propagating aquatic plants. They provide the best option for those who want to ensure that absolutely zero unwanted pests are introduced into the aquarium.
• Remove tissue culture gel before planting.  Simply wash the gel away or soak the plant in water and squeeze the gel off with your fingers.
