Emersed to Submerged Transition
Since Rotala Rotundifolia Assam is supplied in an emersed form, its initial leaves may look different after planting underwater. The plant will gradually adapt and produce new submerged growth suited to aquarium conditions.
For healthy, dense growth, provide adequate lighting, regular fertilization and good water circulation. CO2 can further improve growth and coloration, especially in densely planted aquariums.

Care Notes
‘Assam’ adapts to a wide range of aquarium conditions and can grow with anything from low to high lighting. CO₂ supplementation is beneficial but not strictly necessary, while consistent macro- and micronutrient availability will encourage healthy, compact growth.
Propagation is simple: trim healthy stems and replant the cuttings into the substrate. Regular trimming encourages branching and helps create a fuller, bushier appearance.
