Rotala wallichii

Common Name: Rotala Wallichii

Rotala Wallichii is a popular stem plant with thin fragile leaves that can create luscious forests of green and red when grown in large clusters.  High lighting, Co2, and fertilization dosing will turn the leaves a mix of vibrant pink, red, orange and yellow hues. This plant is best kept in large clusters to create a nice bushy background effect.
