Rotala rotundifolia ‘Blood red’ var SG.

Rotala rotundifolia 'Blood Red' var. SG is a visually stunning aquatic stem plant, prized for its intense crimson to blood-red foliage and compact, upright growth habit. Its narrow, slightly curved leaves grow densely along the stem, allowing aquascapers to shape it into a bushy, vertical structure through regular trimming.

This variety grows quickly under high light and CO₂ supplementation, making it an ideal choice for midground or background placement in planted aquariums. Its vibrant coloration provides striking contrast against green or lighter-toned plants, creating dynamic visual interest in Nature-style, Dutch, or high-density aquascapes.

Rotala rotundifolia 'Blood Red' var. SG is also easy to propagate via stem cuttings, making it rewarding for both hobbyists and professional aquascapers. Its combination of bold color, upright growth, and versatile placement ensures it becomes a focal point and elevates the aesthetic appeal of any planted tank.
