Care Tips: Rotala Wallichii is a fast-growing aquatic plant that adds vibrant color to any aquascape. With its thin, red-tipped leaves and bushy appearance, it creates a beautiful contrast when paired with other plants. It grows best in medium to high lighting and thrives in slightly acidic to neutral water (pH 6.0–7.5), with temperatures ranging from 22–28°C. Rotala Wallichii has a fast growth rate, so regular pruning is necessary to maintain its shape and encourage bushy growth. It prefers a nutrient-rich substrate and responds well to CO2 supplementation, which boosts its growth and enhances its red coloration. This plant works well in the midground or background of an aquarium and can be used to create a striking focal point. It spreads by producing side shoots and can form dense, colorful clusters. Make sure to provide consistent water quality and adequate nutrients to support its vibrant appearance. Regular trimming also ensures the plant doesn’t overtake the space in your tank.
