Tips for Success

Rotala wallichii thrives in established aquariums with strong lighting, consistent CO₂ and balanced fertilisation. Soft, slightly acidic water encourages healthy growth. Plant small groups with space between stems so light can reach the lower leaves. Trim regularly and replant healthy tops to maintain a dense, attractive display.

Basic care instructions:

• Keep the lid sealed until ready to plant to reduce contamination.

• Store in a well-lit area away from direct sunlight.

• Storage temperature should not exceed 30°C.

• Before planting, gently rinse away the nutrient gel and divide into small portions.
