Rotala rotundifolia 'H'ra' is an aquatic plant believed to be a variation of Rotala rotundifolia, closely resembling Rotala sp. 'Green'. It features narrow leaves and exhibits an overhanging or creeping growth pattern. Under high light intensity, proper fertilization, and CO₂ supplementation, it develops a warm, rich pink-orange coloration. This makes it ideal for creating dense, colorful cushions in the midground or even unique foreground carpets in freshwater aquariums.
