Common Name: Rotala Fujian
Rotala Fujian is a form of Rotala Rotundifolia that was found in Fujian province of southeastern China. The submerged leaves are relatively broad compared to other Rotala Rotundifolia species. Rotala Fujian have a slight orange-pink hue to the leaves, especially at the growing tip. When grown under ideal conditions, such as high light and with CO2, these colors are greatly intensified.
Rotala Fujian grows in a vertical pattern, thus we recommend placing Rotala Fujian as a background or midground plant. The extra pop of orange will grab attention and bring depth to any aquascape. Rotala Fujian can be grown in both submerged and emersed conditions, although a transition period will be required. To keep Rotala Fujian nice and compact, regular trimming will need to be performed. The plant trimmings can then be replanted as a form of propagation.

"It was a little small but, despite the heat, was still green and perked up when I put it into my aquarium. I have bought many plants from buceplants and have had a good amount of success."
"All plants were healthy."
"Good shipment of plants"
"The rotala fujian plant arrived safely along with other plants that were ordered. Each leaf was still attached to the plant's stem and the packaged was clearly labeled. Co2 is definitely a must to ensure the health and growth of the plant."
"Same thing, arrived in great condition!!"
"Arrived a little melted but seem to be doing okay. Very pretty color as well."
"All are doing great! Packaging was super and healthy plants arrived."
"All plants were very well shipped and healthy when they arrived. Very great value. 15 plants under $50. Can't beat the price anywhere."
"Great condition on arrival. I can always count on Buce to deliver quality plants!"
"These Rotala Fujian came to me a bit wilted/melty but Buceplant offered to extend the guarantee on them which worked out just fine. Keep in mind these were shipped all the way from Cali to Florida (if I'm not mistaken). Most recovered just fine and have since taken off in growth (albeit very unruly in growth patterns which I guess is normal for Rotala). They will eventually start to grow vertically one way or another :). These were "emersed" and had no roots to start with so keep that in mind when buying these that they will have to transition. The "coin-shaped" leaves melted away and new growth looks different. Overall I'm happy with this purchase and the support from BP. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from them again and will be watching for more plants that I am looking for in the future."
