    Rotala sp. green should be quite easy to grow.

    theres a number of choices of stem plants actually
    depends what kind of color and leave shape you are looking at to complement the scape

    what comes to my mind actually is not really a single stem plant type but rather a mixture of plants

    im thinking you can plant echinodorus tenellus or blyxa japonica to make a few thickets around and behind the rocks, then ludwigia brevipe and rotala rotundifolia behind the rocks and tenellus/blyxa thickets

    just my suggestion on what came to my mind but can;t really picture how it'll turn out in your scape

    'cause i don;t know what it looks like!

    anyway all the best to your planned scaping

    honestly it is difficult without knowing your currect scape. Is there rock inside? or wood? Aare you planing to make Iwagumi scape or jungle? In my opinion you can't just anyhow get plant and expected to be fit nicely into your scape. so photo would be great

    rotala rotundifolia when not given sufficient lighting especially at the bottom portion will melt away. Try the Ludwigia family.

    Rotala sp. green requires high light , it is not a low requirement demand plant.
