Rotala rotundifolia 'Manipurensis' is a distinct variation of Rotala known for its bright yellow-green stems and narrow leaves. When grown under good lighting with CO₂ supplementation, it can develop warm yellow or even golden tones, adding vibrant contrast to an aquascape. Its compact growth habit makes it a great option for midground to background areas, especially when planted in clusters.

Like other Rotala species, this plant is easily propagated by cutting healthy stems and replanting them in the substrate. Frequent trimming helps maintain a bushy, compact appearance and prevents lower leaves from becoming shaded.
To bring out its best colour, provide consistent CO₂, good fertilization, and strong lighting. It's an excellent accent plant among reds and greens due to its unique yellow hue and upright growth.
