Overview:

Rotala wallichii – In Vitro is an elegant and highly desirable aquarium stem plant, prized for its fine, feathery foliage and flowing appearance. The in vitro tissue culture ensures a clean, algae‑free, and pest‑free plant that establishes well in aquariums. Its delicate look adds a natural, graceful accent to planted layouts.

Wallich’s Rotala displays soft, needle‑like leaves that create a billowy, textured effect as it grows, especially under moderate to high lighting. It’s often used in midground and background areas of aquascapes to add height, softness, and movement to the overall plant structure.

Care and Growth:

For best results, provide medium to high lighting and CO₂ supplementation, which helps maintain compact, healthy growth and vibrant foliage. A nutrient‑rich substrate and regular liquid fertilisation support strong root development and overall plant health. Plant individual in vitro portions into the substrate, spacing them evenly so they can fill in naturally.

As Rotala wallichii grows, trim the stems just above a leaf node to encourage bushier growth and prevent overly tall, lanky stems. New shoots will emerge from the cut points, resulting in a fuller appearance.

Key Features:

• Delicate, feather‑like foliage adds texture and softness
• Thrives under medium to high lighting
• CO₂ supplementation enhances growth and compactness
• Ideal for midground and background use in aquascapes
• In vitro tissue culture for a clean, healthy start
