Rotala rotundifolia is a versatile, hardy plant commonly found in planted aquariums. It’s known for its rounded leaves and ability to change colors based on tank conditions. The “Assam” variant may offer specific traits, such as a distinctive color or growth pattern. Here are some care tips:

• Lighting: Moderate to high lighting helps bring out vibrant colors. Under higher light, the leaves can take on shades of pink, red, or orange.
