Fine-Leaved Rotala
Rotala wallichii is a beautiful, fine-textured stem plant prized for its soft, feathery leaves and its ability to develop striking pink to deep red tones under strong lighting. Native to Southeast Asia, it brings movement, colour, and elegance to any aquascape. Best suited to midground or background placement, this species thrives in high light with CO₂ supplementation, rewarding experienced aquarists with dense, bushy growth and intense coloration.
