It is a beautiful stem plant that can be grown as a mid-ground or background plant. Being a fast growing aquarium plant, a regular need for training and pruning becomes essential. Rotala species was introduced in 1960 under the erroneous name Rotala Indica; however, later, different species were discovered and given a name according to their features.
