Rotala Florida Sunset or Rotala Ramosior Florida is a rarity in the planted aquarium hobby with higher demands and a finicky nature. It is one of the few aquarium stem plants that can produce very vivid purple leaves, making it highly attractive to all aquascapers. Its coloration will only change when ideal aquarium conditions are met. However, this color only emerges when the aquarium plant is happy and provided with optimal growing conditions. Similar to other difficult to grow Rotala species, Rotala Florida Sunset requires CO2 injection, high lighting, softer water, a nutrient-dense aquarium soil and a quality fertilizing regiment.
This variation of Rotala does not grow as quickly and exhibits an upright, straighter growth pattern that doesn't branch out as often when trimmed. Because of this, this aquarium stem plant will need to be trimmed and replanted more often to produce a bushy appearance. Rotala Florida Sunset is not a beginner aquatic plant, but for those who are successful in growing it, rewards will be great!
