Description
About Rоtаlа wallichii
Rotala wallichii red plants grow in fluffy groupings that rise to the water surface, which is where the colors are most vibrant and the side shoots grow longest. To maximize the plant’s health, provide bright іllumіnаtіоn, CO2 injections, аnd bаlаnсеd fеrtіlіzаtіоn. Choose the fauna in your tank carefully, as many fish and invertebrates consume these aquatic stem plants.
Propagation
To propagate Rotala wallichii red plants, use a pair of sharp scissors to snip the stems when they become too long near the water surface, and then plant them in the substrate.
