Overview
Rotala ‘Nanjenshan’ is a delicate, fine‑textured stem plant with a soft, feather‑like appearance. It forms dense, bushy groups when provided with stable CO₂ and decent lighting. Its flowing, airy texture makes it a favourite in nature-style aquascapes and Iwagumi layouts.
Although visually similar to Rotala wallichii, this plant is easier, hardier, and more adaptable, while still offering a refined, “high-end” aquascape look.
Key Care Requirements
Lighting
- Medium to high light recommended for compact, bushy growth.
- Low light results in long, sparse stems and dull coloration.
CO₂
- Recommended
- Helps maintain tight internodes and lush density.
Water Parameters
| Parameter | Ideal Range |
|---|---|
| Temperature | 22–28°C (72–82°F) |
| pH | 5.8–7.4 |
| GH | 3–10 |
| KH | 1–6 |
Substrate
- Grows in any substrate but prefers nutrient-rich soil.
- Root tabs help if kept in sand or gravel.
Fertilization
- Responds well to regular micronutrients, especially iron.
- Appreciate stable macros (NO₃ / PO₄ / K) for steady growth.
Growth & Propagation
- Trim tops to maintain shape; replant healthy cuttings.
- Side shoots develop after trimming, making the plant bushier.
- Due to its fine leaves, trimming helps prevent bottom shading.
Tank Compatibility
- Excellent for community aquariums.
- Safe for shrimp tanks.
- Avoid tanks with plant‑eating cichlids or goldfish.
Common Issues
| Issue | Likely Cause |
|---|---|
| Sparse, leggy growth | Low light or lack of CO₂ |
| Browning at bottoms | Stems shaded due to poor trimming routine |
| Melting after planting | Normal adaptation—recoverable with stability |
| Stunted tips | CO₂ inconsistency or micronutrient imbalance |
