Rotala Indica, a species of aquatic plant belonging to the family Lythraceae, is native to Southeast Asia and is commonly found in freshwater environments such as ponds, lakes, and slow-moving streams. Aquarium enthusiasts often feature Rotala Indica 'Bonsai' in their Dutch-style and nano tanks because of its small size and upright growth habit. This plant has thick, round green leaves that may turn reddish under intense lighting and grows straight and erect, giving it a bushy appearance when grown in groups.
Initially, there was confusion regarding Rotala Indica 'Bonsai' when it was misidentified as Ammannia sp. Bonsai or Ammania sp. Bonsai, but further analysis has confirmed it to be a Rotala species. Despite the misidentification, it has become a beloved and sought-after plant among aquarium hobbyists.
To cultivate Rotala Indica 'Bonsai' in an aquarium, bright lighting and nutrient-rich substrate are necessary. Regular pruning is recommended to maintain its shape and promote healthy growth, and stem cuttings can be replanted in the substrate to propagate the plant. Additionally, adding CO2 and fertilizers can enhance the plant's vibrant colors and lush growth.
Overall, Rotala Indica 'Bonsai' is a beautiful and low-maintenance plant that adds greenery and color to any aquatic setup.

Arrived in great health, but was disappointed with the quantities and size. A total of 4 plants with heads about the size of a small cigar.
I have nothing but praise for this seller and for the plants I have ordered. Thank you so much!
These are so cute, they look like mini Lillypads. I’ve had a couple for weeks and they’ve stayed alive!
Arrived on time.
