Description
This decorative stem plant was introduced as Rotala sp. "Shimoga", apparently referring to the district Shimoga in the Indian state Karnataka. It is a qite large, broad leaved form of Rotala rotundifolia. Its luminous green submerged leaves are relatively broad and have an interesting shape, they are bent upwards and twisted to the side, showing the light pink undersides. Under intense lighting, also the upper sides at the shoot tips may show pinkish tones. The shoots grow upright, not horizontal or arching like certain other Rotala rotundifolia forms.
As well as normal Rotala rotundifolia, "Shimoga" is not very demanding and grows fast. We recommend medium to strong lighting, CO2 addition and regular micro- and macronutrient supply for the nicest look of the plant. Occasional trimming promotes bushy, dense growth.
Luminous light green with pinkish tones, particular leaf shape and rather low demands make "Shimoga" a very recommendable stem plant. It looks especially well as a bush in the midground to background, also combined with other Rotalas of different colours and textures.

I didn't know this Rotala variant before and so I wanted to test it. In my water (KH 2, GH 6) it grows quite quickly. (read more)

Tolle Rotala Form
Diese Rotala-Variante war mir bisher nicht bekannt und deswegen wollte ich sie mal testen. In meinem Wasser (KH2, GH6) wächst sie ziemlich zügig. Bisher hatte sie aufgrund der Rückschnitte noch nicht die Gelegenheit ihr ganzes Potential zu zeigen. Ich bin gespannt.
It is a medium-sized Rotala, where the very broad leaves stand out first. They are also very soft and move even in a light current. Its color is a warm light green. (read more)

Sehr schöne Pflanze.
Sie ist eine mittelgroße Rotala, bei der als erstes die sehr breiten Blätter auffallen. Diese sind auch sehr weich und bewegen sich schon in leichter Strömung. Ihre Farbe ist ein warmes hellgrün. Die Blattunterseiten sind silbrig. Nachdem sie nun die Hälfte der Beckenhöhe erreicht hat, änderte sich ihre Farbe ein wenig. Die Blätter sind nun mit bronzefarbigen Einschlag, die Unterseite Schimmert Magenta. Der Stängel ist braun.
Wachstum ist schnell bis sehr schnell. Sie profitiert sehr von der erhöhten Mikronährstoffversorgung.
Sie wächst in einem anderen Becken auch ohne CO2 aber sehr viel langsamer.
Ich kultiviere sie bei 23-25 °C, ca. KH 3 GH 8 >40 Lm/L und kompletter Düngung. Hoffe es Hilft. Mfg
