Common Name: Rotala Wallichii

Rotala Wallichii is a popular stem plant with thin fragile leaves that can create luscious forests of green and red when grown in large clusters.  High lighting, Co2, and fertilization dosing will turn the leaves a mix of vibrant pink, red, orange and yellow hues. Pictures show difference between submerged form vs. emersed form of this plant. When planting, it is best to keep stems in large clusters to create a nice bushy background effect.

Notes:

  • Rotala has fragile leaves! Be sure to handle with care. 
  • Final coloration is ultimately dependent upon the conditions this plant is kept in. This is a live plant meaning size, shape and color may vary.
  • Do not make drastic changes to the aquarium. Unstable parameters will result in melt and rotting of the aquarium plant.
  • Please be sure to remove this plant from its wrap. Remove the foam surrounding the roots and plant into a quality substrate. For instructions on how to properly prep “bunched“ aquarium plants, click here .
