Rotala Indica (Ammannia Bonsai) Aquarium Plants Factory

Rotala Indica ‘Bonsai,’ also known as the true Rotala Indica, is often confused with Rotala Rotundifolia, a completely different species. Originally introduced as Ammannia sp. ‘Bonsai,’ its true identity was confirmed by Cavan Allen in 2009.

Distinctive Features: Rotala Indica ‘Bonsai’ is characterized by its thick, round leaves, with the tips turning a beautiful reddish hue under strong lighting.
