Description
This delicate, very small-leaved stem plant is a selection of Rotala macrandra. It is also known as Rotala sp. 'Pearl'. It resembles Rotala macrandra “Mini Type 2” but differs by shorter leaves curved downward.
Strong lighting and good CO2 and nutrient supply are recommendable. It’s best placed as group in the foreground or midground, especially in nano tanks.
Please note:As well as Rotala macrandra 'Mini Type 2', 'Pearl' is likely a mutant of Rotala macrandra 'Green'. It occasionally develops shoots that look like the wild type form of 'Green', with larger leaves and growing considerably faster. They should be cut off as soon as they emerge in order to preserve the typical 'Pearl' form. Also for propagation by cuttings, only shoots with the typical small leaves should be selected.
This dwarfish Rotala macrandra selection looks best as a group in the foreground or midground, especially in nano aquariums.
This small Rotala was introduced as Rotala sp. 'Pearl'. It is apparently a selection of Rotala macrandra.

As always, a generously filled in-vitro cup with fit plants reached me within a very short time. "Plantlets" is more accurate, they're really very, very tiny and delicate. (read more)

Voller Topf mit top vitalen Pflanzen
Wie immer erreichte mich innerhalb kürzester Zeit ein prall gefüllter In-Vitro Becher mit fitten Pflanzen.
Pflänzchen trifft es besser, die sind wirklich sehr, sehr winzig und filgran.
Habe sie zunächst außerhalb des Aquariums in ein extra Gefäß mit nassem Powder-Soil gesetzt und etwas Sand drüber gestreut, damit die Mini-Stecklinge im Wasser nicht wieder auftreiben.
Dann habe ich die Schale vorsichtig im Pflanzen-Zwischenlager-Aquarium versenkt.
Zum Glück habe ich in diesem Becken keine Garnelen, die könnten die zarten Triebe mühelos wieder ausbuddeln.
Jetzt darf die Pearl erstmal ordentlich anwachsen und in Ruhe auf submers umstellen, bevor sie in das endgültige Scape umgesetzt wird.
Bin sehr gespannt, wie sie sich entwickelt.
Here I recommend putting the big tweezers aside and working with pointed fine tweezers. The individual little stems are only 5 to max. 10 mm in size and 1-2 mm wide. (read more)

Achdujeh, sind die winzig!
Hier rate ich dazu, die große Pinzette beiseite zu legen und mit einer spitzen Feinpinzette zu arbeiten. Die einzelnen Stängelchen sind nur 5- max. 10mm groß und 1- 2mm breit.
Ich habe sie dann in 5 kleine Pölsterchen geteilt und so irgendwie eingesetzt. Jetzt, nach einer Woche, treibt schon wieder eines davon im Becken herum,- also wieder rein damit und noch tiefer setzen. Ob das was wird?
Aber, wenn die kommen, wird's bestimmt toll.
The Pearl arrived here safe and sound, at 14.9 °C, was acclimated and planted into soil 4 hours later. Quite fiddly with tweezers, but the result is a hit. (read more)

Absolut geeignet für Scapes
Die Pearl kam hier wohlbehalten, mit 14,9 °C an, wurden akklimatisiert und 4 Stunden später in Soil eingesetzt. Ziemliche Frimmelei mit Pinzette aber das Ergebnis ist der Hit. Top und IMMER wieder.
