Rotala Wallichi (Red Pine)
Rotala Wallichii, also known as Red Pine, is a striking stem plant prized for its fine, needle-like foliage and vivid coloration. Under high light and with CO₂ supplementation, it develops rich pink to red hues, making it a beautiful accent or background plant in aquascapes. Its soft, bushy appearance also adds texture and contrast when planted in groups.
Key Features:
- Delicate, feathery foliage with vibrant red to pink tones
- Ideal for midground to background placement
- Excellent contrast against green plants
- Best used in bunches or grouped clusters
- Popular in high-tech aquascapes
Care Instructions:
- Lighting: Requires high light to develop strong colour and compact growth.
- CO₂: Strongly recommended for vibrant colour and health.
- Nutrients: Benefits from a rich water column and iron supplementation.
- Trimming: Trim tops regularly to encourage bushier side growth and replant cuttings for denser clusters.
- Water Parameters: Prefers soft, slightly acidic water (pH 6–7), with temperatures between 22–28°C. Good flow helps keep foliage clean and healthy.
