✂️ Care

Rotala Wallichii is sensitive to fluctuations in water quality and light. Keep CO₂, lighting, and fertilization stable for the best results. The plant grows slower than most other Rotalas but rewards patience with a breathtaking, delicate appearance. Prune carefully and replant the tops for denser growth.

💡 Planter's tip

Rotala Wallichii combines beautifully with broad-leaved plants like Anubias or Bucephalandra — the contrast between the coarse and fine texture is particularly effective. Ideal as an accent plant in a detailed aquascape.

❓ Frequently asked questions

Can I keep Rotala Wallichii without CO₂?
No, this is one of the Rotalas that truly needs CO₂. Without CO₂, the plant will wither and lose its delicate character. Only recommended for tanks with a CO₂ system.

Why is my Wallichii growing so slowly?
Rotala Wallichii is naturally a slow grower. Ensure stable conditions — constant CO₂, sufficient light, and regular fertilization — and the plant will grow steadily and beautifully.

My plant arrived yellow or limp — is that normal?
Yes, this is transport stress and almost always temporary. Give the plant 1–2 weeks to acclimate. For persistent problems: contact us.

Is this plant suitable for a shrimp tank?
Yes, completely shrimp-friendly. The fine structure also provides good shelter for shrimp.
