Swell Red Round-Leaf Rotala & Green Fern Artificial Plant

What is the Swell Red Round-Leaf Rotala & Green Fern Artificial Plant?

The Swell Red Round-Leaf Rotala & Green Fern Artificial Plant is a natural looking plant ornament that brings elements from the natural aquatic world into your home. Made from completely fish-safe plastic, this artificial plant will not affect your water quality, and will even help to provide many benefits to your aquarium.

The Swell Red Round-Leaf Rotala & Green Fern Artificial Plant features tall red Rotala leaves, along with a shorter orange stem. The red leaves greatly contrast the green artificial Fern and carpeting plant that covers the whole base, allowing it to blend easily into the substrate. The deep, rich red colour of the Rotala leaves can be paired with other red aquarium decorations or used as a colour contrast to allow it to stand out. Artificial Rotala plants can be a great alternative to live plants, as they are easy to clean and have no lighting requirements unlike live Rotala.

Why buy artificial aquarium plants?

Artificial aquarium plants like the Swell Red Round-Leaf Rotala & Green Fern Artificial Plant bring home natural elements but without any of the maintenance of live plants. Live plants can be a beautiful decoration but are not always suitable for every tank, especially due to the time it takes to maintain, and the risk of pests. Some fish are also not plant-safe, and you may not have plant LEDs. Artificial plants can be a great alternative as they provide the same aesthetic, but without the maintenance. Plastic plants come in a wide range of colours and shapes, allowing you to find the perfect one for your tank.

Why do I need aquarium decorations?

Aquarium decorations look fantastic in your tank, and can be styled around a theme if you choose. They also provide a place for fish to shelter in. Your fish will feel encouraged to behave as they would naturally and have a place they can hide if they become stressed. Artificial plants also provide plenty of surface area for beneficial bacteria to colonise, promoting healthy water.
