There is some uncertainty about the correct name of this plant. For some time it has been sold as Mayaca sellowiana, but actually this is Rotala sp. “Nanjenshan” (species unknown). It is a graceful plant with needle-shaped leaves. It requires a relatively large amount of light, and CO2 addition is recommended to promote growth. The most decorative effect is achieved by planting it in groups. Also suitable for small aquariums.
