Rotala Nanjenshan
Rotala 'Nanjenshan’ is a fine-textured stem plant that forms feathery whorls of narrow green leaves, giving it a soft, airy look that contrasts beautifully against broader-leaved neighbors. Under good light it takes on subtle yellow-green tones at the crown. It looks its best planted in dense groups through the midground and background.

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.
