Description: 

Rotala wallichii is an elegant stem plant originating from soft, slightly acidic waters in South-Eastern Asia. Its inflorescence has bright purple flowers. Even though it is not quite easy in cultivation it is a highly popular plant.

It can thrive in a wide range of water parameters and is an easy plant to grow; it doesn't require high lighting to CO2. However, having higher lighting and CO2 injection pushes it to grow faster, with higher density, and redder coloration.

As stem plants, rotalas grow continually towards the light and will reach the top of most aquariums. If allowed to reach the water surface it will breach the surface eventually and grow emersed leaves and flowers. It will creep along the substrate and shoot side-shoots, given space and high lighting, If planted in a more crowded area they will grow vertical towards light source. 

The plant branches more readily when in high-tech setups, and grows straighter with less branching if conditions are less then optimal (low CO2 or low nutrients).

Got around 7-ish pieces of Rotala if I remember correctly. Came healthy. I am doing this review 24 days later and they're still healthy and thriving :) 10/10 and would order again. The tips are still red but not as red as I got them due to my fault of not having C02 so if you want to keep the tips red, keep pumping the gas.
