Rotala Indica, also known as Rotala Indica 'Bonsai', is an aquatic plant species that is native to Southeast Asia. It belongs to the family Lythraceae and is commonly found in freshwater environments such as ponds, lakes, and slow-moving streams.

Rotala Indica 'Bonsai' is a popular aquarium plant that is often featured in Dutch-style and nano tanks due to its small size and upright growth habit. It has thick, round leaves that are green in color, but may turn reddish under intense lighting. The plant grows straight and erect, and is known for its bushy appearance when grown in small to medium groups.

Interestingly, Rotala Indica 'Bonsai' was initially misidentified as Ammannia sp. Bonsai or Ammania sp. Bonsai before being correctly classified as a Rotala species. Despite the confusion, Rotala Indica 'Bonsai' has become a beloved and sought-after plant for aquarium enthusiasts.

To cultivate Rotala Indica 'Bonsai' in an aquarium, it requires bright lighting and nutrient-rich substrate. The plant benefits from regular pruning to maintain its shape and encourage healthy growth, and can be propagated by taking stem cuttings and replanting them in the substrate. Additionally, the addition of CO2 and fertilizers can promote even more vibrant colors and lush growth.

Overall, Rotala Indica 'Bonsai' is a beautiful and easy-to-care-for plant that is a popular choice for aquarium hobbyists looking to add some greenery and color to their aquatic setups.

        Great plants

        The tissue cultures of Rotala indica 'bonsai' come with a ton of small stems. They should fill out a lot of space once given time to grow. Very happy with all the plants I've received.
