I’ve been working on my bush. I tried some of your ideas and it’s really become a nice dense bush. I’ve even shown my friends how to grow and trim their bushes. Thanks

Can you go over the different varieties of rotala and your opinions on which variety is better for a bush?
I cant find any videos on different varieties of rotala. I'm trying to find which variety I prefer more and need a second opinion.
And also how to make them grow vertically instead of all over the place.
Thanks!

Everyone likes a lush bush😅
I've recently removed ALL hardscape to focus on plants....so much more room!

than you but what are the best stem plants

[mughlisw]

do you plant rotala hra each stem individually or 4stem at once a bunch? and each, how far apart from another? because i have planted 4stem at once a bunch as instructed from somewhere, but the rotalas are struggling, lacking water flow, less exposed to light, black spots on leaf, and some algae, fuzz algae i think, but the grow is still there, but never reddish, my ludwigia mini super red is indeed super red, please help, thank you in advance

Aquascape Gods very humble LOVE IT ❤ just got my Rotala flown in from the Netherlands because getting certain plants is near to impossible 😢 when you live in Aruba. ps can I order that shirt ?

[louisxtan]

What should I do if the stems are crawling instead of growing upright?

[jtiso]

Is there any chance this plant can be grown without CO2 and keep its pink color?

[Hellacop]

Question, after 6-8 months, I get green hair algae in my stems bush, because under the healthy top it’s too shady and no flow. Any solutions? I see that Ada replant the whole bush when it’s too dense?

[simplycurlyde]

I'm kinda new to this. Question: What becomes of the plants that were topped off? Will they continue to grow from there or just look like a headless plant?

My rotala blood red now is not doing great and it is very frustrating 😔

[jamesd]

Thank you. Best but most simpleist video on trimming rotala. 👍

[onterom]

So the key is plant a lot of them all together.

[techdan]

Great video! My stem plants seem to be growing roots mid way up the stem...why does this happen and where can I cut them so I can replant sucessfully?

[taylorrussell]

Great video thanks. Working on mine now!! I have been using glue to attach them to my pond gravel i have in my tank to keep them in place as they seem to break loose once in a while. So far so good.
