Rotala rotundifolia 'Shimoga'
Rotala rotundifolia 'Shimoga'
Rotala rotundifolia 'Shimoga' is a quite large, broad leaved form of Rotala rotundifolia. Its luminous green submerged leaves are relatively broad and have an interesting shape. The leaves are bent upwards and twisted to the side showing the light pink undersides. Under intense lighting, the upper sides a the shoot tips may show pinkish tones. The shoots grow upright not horizontal or arching like certain other Rotala rotundifolia forms.
Rotala rotundifolia 'Shimoga' is not very demanding and grows fast. We recommend using medium to strong lighting, CO2 addition and regular micro and macronutrient supply for the nicest look of the plant. Occasional trimming promotes bushy, dense growth. It looks especially well as a bush in the midground to the background, also combined with other Rotalas of different colours and textures
