Rotala H’ra
Rotala H’ra
Rotala 'H’ra’ (sometimes sold as 'Vietnam') is a fine-leaved stem plant beloved for the fiery orange-to-red crown it develops under bright light and CO2. It keeps the easy, bushy habit of the rotundifolia family but rewards a bit more effort with some of the warmest color in the group. Plant it densely and top it often for a glowing background thicket.
Care level: Moderate · Placement: Midground/Background · Lighting: Medium-High · CO2: Beneficial · Growth rate: Fast · Propagation: cuttings

When it ships
Most non-quarantined stock goes out the week you order. If we do not already have the animal in-house we source it first — allow up to two weeks for it to reach us. Live animals leave Monday and Tuesday, and Early AM Overnight is the only service that carries a live arrival guarantee.
The live guarantee
Shipped Early AM Overnight: a 1-hour DOA window from confirmed delivery, and nothing beyond it. Next Day Air and 2-Day carry no live arrival guarantee, and neither does USPS Priority. Local pickup or local delivery: 24 hours, if you bring a water sample from your aquarium and we test it before the animal goes home. Maintenance clients: 60 days when we service the aquarium at least twice a month, 28 days on a monthly plan.
