Giant red rotala
Measured underwater with an Apogee MQ-510at this plant’s position. Working ranges are practical reference figures, not biological thresholds. The full survey sets out how the number was taken and what it does not establish.
Stem; large soft leaves, fast, demanding.
Interior, in a position measured near the middle of the layout's range.
Deep pink to red throughout. Widely regarded as one of the harder reds to hold.
General to the species. What this plant has actually done in this aquarium is recorded under observations.
Fragile stems; top carefully and replant the healthiest tops.
Nothing recorded specific to this plant in this aquarium yet. The scape is still growing in; observations are added when there is something specific to report rather than to fill the section.
Photograph pending. Planned: a current photograph at matched camera settings, repeated at intervals so color can be compared across time rather than described.
