Rotala wallichii is a beautiful stem plant that grows in South-East Asian waters that are soft and slightly acidic. It blooms with flowers that are bright purple. Even though it's not easy to grow, this plant is very popular.
Rotala wallichii was a stem plant with small, finely-toothed, reddish-pink to pink leaves. It looks best when there are a lot of stems in a group. It can also be used in the foreground and in smaller tanks if it is cut at the right time. Adding CO2 to the air helps plants grow a lot. It likes water that is soft and a bit acidic.

My first purchase from Aquarium Plants Factory and I couldn’t be more pleased. My order arrived earlier than expected, and I had to wait two days before I had the chance to plant them and another three before I could get the CO2 refilled. This is a new tank setup (my first Plenum and my first planned aquascape), but not my first tank by far. It took six months to plan, at least $1000.00 budgeted from from floor to fill it matured only six weeks before adding plants and a few Rummy Nose Tetra. Despite all my stumbling this go round I have not had a single plant loss from melt or any other reason. I was amazed to see new growth within a week and was thrilled to see pink tips on the Rotala Wallichii. So, I greatly appreciate receiving such quality plants. When we spend this amount of time and money it helps to know the places we purchase items from appreciate us. So… next is the Rainbow Shark and Corydora species only tanks make-over.

The plant arrived healthy and in tact. Green in color and nice root system. Can't wait to see this plant settle and show some of it's true colors.

What would be the maximum height?
They can grow over 30 inches in size. Just keep trimming if they overgrow!
