DESCRIPTION

Introduction:

Rotala wallichii is a stunning aquatic plant known for its delicate, needle-like leaves that can display vibrant pink, red, and orange hues under optimal conditions. Native to Southeast Asia, this species is a favorite among aquascapers looking to add a touch of color and texture to their tanks. It grows in an upright, bushy manner, making it an excellent background or midground plant in planted aquariums. Due to its demanding care requirements, Rotala wallichii is best suited for experienced hobbyists with well-maintained, high-tech setups.

Care Requirements:

  • Water Parameters: Prefers a temperature range of 22–28°C, with an optimal pH of 5.5–7.0 and soft to moderately hard water (2–10 dGH).
  • Nutrient Requirements: Requires a nutrient-rich environment, with regular dosing of iron and micronutrients to enhance its red coloration. High CO₂ levels and consistent fertilization are essential for healthy growth.
  • Tank Setup: Thrives under high lighting conditions (at least 0.5 W per liter) to develop its signature pink and red hues. Grows best in fine-grained nutrient-rich substrate. It should be planted in groups to create dense, bushy clusters for a visually striking effect.

Care Tips:

To achieve the most vibrant coloration, provide intense lighting, CO₂ supplementation, and a steady nutrient supply. Regular trimming encourages bushier growth and prevents lower leaves from melting due to light deprivation. Ensure stable water conditions, as Rotala wallichii is sensitive to sudden parameter changes.

Rotala wallichii is a captivating choice for aquascapers seeking to add a bold splash of color to their planted tanks. Its feathery, vibrant foliage creates a dynamic contrast against green plants, making it a focal point in any aquascape. With the right care, this delicate beauty will flourish and bring an elegant, natural feel to the aquarium.
