Originally discovered in 1881, Rotala Indica (Rotala rotundifolia) is a Southeast Asian stem plant that is also known as “Indian Toothcup”. It is characteristic for its green, pink, and yellow leaves that often grow densely on the stem. Rotala indica/rotundifolia is notably hardy, making it a popular choice for both low and high tech tanks. Its fast growth and tall stems are excellent for mid-background planting.
