Rare Rotala Mexicana Complete SET! Goias / Green / Araguaia / Red

Rarely will you get to see this COMPLETE SET TOGETHER!


1) Rotala Mexicana RED - This is SUPER RARE. Very picky plant. Will turn back to green in 2 days if you mess up dosing routine. Slow to Mod grower. When fertilized right, this turns BRIGHT RED!

2) Rotala Mexicana GREEN - Similar to Pogostemon Erectus but easy to tell difference side by side. Moderate grower. Beautiful in groups.

3) Rotala Mexicana Araguaia - Gives nice contrast. Very nice light green color. Moderate grower.

4) Rotala Mexicana Goias - Beautiful CREEPING plant that grows sideways along the substrate and forms RED TIPS!

Cavan. Not hard to grow. But hard to get beautifully red. I would say higher phos and iron but thats just common sense, so i didnt really get that from you Dennis!

This is just like any other red plant. Same basics.

Its just that I work full time and sometimes, i forget to dose. Thats why mine are semi red.

Rotala mexicana is one of the most widespread species in the genus (most of the tropics) and there are MANY, many local races, some of which grow side by side. Even creeping forms from India and other places. We have seen probably a small fraction of what's out there.
