Description
Rotala rotundifolia "Green" is also known as Rotala sp. "Green". In contrast to "standard" R. rotundifolia, the "Green" variant never turns reddish but keeps its fresh green colour even under very strong light. The plant has an attractive bushy elegantly overhanging growth habit. An occasional thorough trimming is recommendable, as this plant is a very fast grower. Amano masterfully uses the characteristic overhanging growth habit of this Rotala in many of his aquascapes.
Characteristics
This plant that entered the aquarium plant trade as Rotala sp. "Green" is apparently a form of the very variable species Rotala rotundifolia. The characteristics of the submersed form of R. rotundifolia "Green" are:
- purely green colour of leaves as well as stems,
- a weeping habit (at first, the shoots grow upright, but then bow down), and
- always only 2 (not 3 or more) leaves per node.
Sometimes, other green forms of Rotala rotundifolia are sold under that name in trade, however, their submersed stems still show at least a reddish hue and grow strictly upright, other than those of true "Green". One can choose these plants if the overhanging habit of true R. rotundifolia "Green" does not complement the layout. However, this typical growth habit can be an interesting design feature.

Schneller Versand - Top Qualität - sehr weiter zu empfehlen
I ordered the green one to complement the red version. Very nice contrast in combination. Funnily enough, the red one grows approx. 3x faster than the green one.

Sehr schöne Pflanze, aber....
habe ergänzend zu der roten Version die grüne bestellt.
Sehr schöner Kontrast in Kombination.
Lustigerweise wächst die rote ca. 3x schneller als die grüne.
Keine Ahnung woran das hängt, eigentlich aber auch gut insofern, das man diese nicht jede Woche zurückschneiden muss.
