DESCRIPTION

Introduction:

Rotala rotundifolia 'Orange Juice' is a striking variant of Rotala rotundifolia, known for its vibrant orange to reddish hues under optimal conditions. This Southeast Asian stem plant is highly prized by aquascapers for its ability to create a warm, sunset-like effect in planted tanks. Its thin, rounded leaves grow densely along upright stems, making it an excellent choice for background or midground placement. This cultivar is relatively hardy compared to other colored Rotala species, making it suitable for both high-tech and some low-tech setups.

Care Requirements:

  • Water Parameters: Thrives in temperatures of 20–28°C, with an optimal pH of 5.5–7.5 and soft to moderately hard water (3–12 dGH).
  • Nutrient Requirements: Requires regular fertilization, particularly with iron and micronutrients, to enhance its orange hues. CO₂ injection significantly improves growth rate and coloration.
  • Tank Setup: Prefers moderate to high lighting to achieve its signature orange-to-red tones. Grows best in a nutrient-rich substrate but can also be anchored in fine gravel or sand with root tabs. Plant in dense groups for a lush, bushy appearance.

Care Tips:

To achieve the most intense orange coloration, provide high light, consistent CO₂, and a well-balanced fertilization routine. Regular pruning promotes bushier growth and prevents lower leaves from shedding. Stability in water parameters is key to maintaining healthy, vibrant plants.

Rotala rotundifolia 'Orange Juice' is a breathtaking addition to any aquascape, bringing a fiery burst of color that contrasts beautifully with green plants. Its hardy nature and stunning appearance make it a must-have for those looking to create a dynamic, natural underwater environment.
