I bought this for my 10-gallon nano tank. It’s small and fits well in the foreground. After a few months, the tips turned a soft pink under medium lighting. I trim it every few months to keep it neat. It’s a great low-maintenance plant for beginners.

The plant arrived healthy and looks beautiful in my tank. It grows slowly, which is perfect for a small setup. I noticed color changes when I increased the lighting. I plan to keep it for a long time.

This bonsai version is much smaller than regular Rotala. It’s ideal for a tight tank. I’ve trimmed it twice and it’s still looking vibrant. The color development under medium light is impressive.
