The narrow, tightly spiralling fresh green leaves are pointy and make this Helanthium vesuviusa real eye-catcher. The plant is very decorative as a group or as solitary plant in the middle ground of the aquarium. Under favourable conditions it spreads fast through runners. When cultivated above the waterline, the emerged leaves are almost straight. Only under water it develops its typical spiralling leaves.

Aquascapeplants Nymphaea ‘Tiger lotus green’
Gorgeous solitary plant for bigger tanks
Greenish -green to red leaves
Dark spot and stripe pattern
The most popular waterlily in the aquarium hobbyThe Nymphaea ‘Tiger Lotus Green’ is a stunning aquatic plant, often referred to as the Green Tiger Lotus. Despite its name, it is actually a type of water lily, not a true lotus. Here are some key points about this plant:
- Appearance: It features heart-shaped leaves with a brilliant reddish-purple tint. The leaves can grow both submerged and floating, adding a dynamic look to your aquarium.
- Growth: This plant is known for its fast growth rate and can become quite large, making it suitable for midground or background placement in your tank.
- Care: The Green Tiger Lotus is undemanding but a heavy feeder. It thrives with regular fertilization and can benefit from CO2 supplementation. It can tolerate a wide range of temperatures and pH levels.
- Pruning: To manage its size and prevent it from shading other plants, you can prune the floating leaves.
- Propagation: It can produce flowers and seeds, and under good conditions, it can develop offset plantlets that can be separated and planted in other tanks.

Rotala Blood Red
Rotala rotundifolia Blood red ‘Singapore’ is a real eye-catcher as an about 20 – 40 cm high bush in the midground and background. It contrasts particularly well with light green plants and adds a rich red tone to the varied shades of R. rotundifolia forms.
- Newest plant offering from aquascapeplants
- Also called Rotala “Blood Red Singapore”
- The Rotala rotundifolia form with the richest red
- Forms a striking colour accent
- No high demands
‘Singapore Blood Red’, also “Blood Red Singapore”, certainly has the most intense red colouring of all Rotala rotundifolia forms. Under the same conditions, this Rotala has a darker red shade than R. rotundifolia ‘Colorata’. As with “normal” Rotala rotundifolia, the shoots grow mostly upright to ascending, in very strong light also more or less horizontally. As with “normal” Rotala rotundifolia, the shoots grow to over 50 cm long, but look better if they are kept about 20 – 40 cm high by cutting and replanting cuttings. They branch quite well, the bushy growth is promoted by occasional pruning.
This splendid red stem plant shares fast growth and easy culture with other forms of round-leaved Rotala. It still grows in moderate lighting and without added CO2, but looks best with strong light, added CO2 and complete macro and micronutrient fertilisation through the water column. Propagation is easy via head cuttings and side shoots.
