The "Blood Red" is the most intensely red variety of Rotala rotundifolia. Placing it next to light green plants will enhance its vibrant red color.

This plant is easy to grow and can thrive in relatively low light and nutrient conditions. However, to achieve the most intense coloring, ample light and CO2 addition are required.

The plant grows upright to slightly arching, producing many branches. Regular trimming is necessary to ensure good light penetration and water flow between the stems.
