Description
Rotala Wallichii
Rotala Wallichii, sometimes referred to as Whorly Rotala, originates from Southeast Asia. It exhibits reddish to brown to pink color delicate or needle-like looking leaves. This plant looks best when planted in groups. It can be used both as a midground or background plant.
Caring For Rotala Wallichii
R. Wallichii grows fast but may need regular trimmings to keep it nice and tidy. The plants need moderate to high lighting and will appreciate regular fertilization. When kept under good conditions and planted in groups, this plant will provide spectacular and contrasting pinkish/reddish background to your aquarium.
- Minimum Lighting Required: Moderate
- Temperature Range: 64-82°F
- Tank Placement: Midground or Background
Rotala Wallichii does not require CO2 supplementation or specially formulated substrate. However, as is true with most plants, the addition of CO2 and planting it in a nutrient-rich substrate such as Rio Escuro will boost its growth considerably.

Posted by Liz on 4 Nov 2021Plants arrived alive and in very good condition as well as the packaging. 4 stars because was expecting them to be more mature and established. But overall alive, healthy, and very aesthetically pleasing to my nano.
