Rotala Wallichii

Rotala wallichii is one of the most delicate stems in the hobby, with fine, needle-like leaves in feathery whorls that flush pink, red, and orange under intense light. That beauty comes at a price — it demands high light, CO2, and clean, stable water to keep from shedding its lower leaves. A rewarding challenge and a stunning centerpiece for experienced aquascapers.
