Rotala wallichii key facts

Growing Difficulty
Intermediate
Size
10-30cm
Temperature
20〜28℃
Watering
Liquid fertilizer (iron important) + CO2
Lighting
Stays green under low to medium light but turns pink to red under high light. Plant it in a well-lit background position.
CO2 & Fertilizer
CO2 injection makes the colour vivid. Regular dosing of a liquid fertiliser containing iron and potassium improves the red further.
Water Temperature & Quality
Prefers a water temperature of 20-28°C and slightly acidic to neutral soft water. Its leaves ripple in moving water, so give it a gentle current.
Trimming & Propagation
Growth is slow to moderate. Repeatedly trimming and replanting the tops builds density and creates a more beautiful stand.
Cautions
Algae easily tangles in the needle-thin leaves. Despite its delicate look it is relatively easy to grow and suits intermediate growers.
