Description

Add a compact, elegant touch to your aquascape with Rotala indica ‘Bonsai’, also known as Ammannia sp. ‘Bonsai’. This stem plant has small, rounded green leaves and dense, upright growth, making it ideal for detailed aquascapes, nano aquariums and carefully styled planted tanks.

It grows more slowly than most stem plants, so it keeps its tidy, bonsai-like shape with less frequent trimming. Under stronger lighting, the stem tips can take on a reddish tone.

  • Growth Rate: Slower than most stem plants
