Description:
Rotala Wallichii is known for its eye-catching pink and red hues with delicate, needle-shaped leaves. This plant is ideal as a mid-ground or background plant, especially when planted in groups, which enhances its vibrant coloration and feathery texture. While it is not the easiest plant to maintain, its popularity among aquarists is due to its beautiful coloration and structure. To achieve the best color, Rotala Wallichii requires a nutrient-rich substrate, high lighting, CO2 injection, and regular dosing of iron and other nutrients.
