About the species

Rotala wallichii is a demanding plant that develops red shoot tips in good light conditions. The most decorative effect can be achieved by planting a large number of stems in a group.

Rotala walichii is good as a background and intermediate plant and is also suitable for small aquariums, as it is easy to prune if it grows too tall. CO2 addition increases growth significantly. It also prefers soft, slightly acidic water.
