Rotala wallichii “Long Leaf” is the name given to this lovely Rotala with excellent leaves. Its identification as R. wallichii, however, has yet to be confirmed. Its exact origin is uncertain, however, it is thought to originate in tropical Asia.
Rotala sp. “Long Leaf” is very similar to Rotala wallichii, with the exception of longer submerged leaves, as the trade name suggests.
This “Long Leaf” prefers soft water, good lighting, COâ‚‚ supply, and frequent, fertilization with macro and micronutrients, just like Rotala wallichii. The best reddish color of the foliage comes from strong illumination. The Rotala grows quickly in excellent conditions, and it’s easy to propagate by cuttings, just like other stem plants.
As a larger group in the midground to the background of not too small tanks, Rotala sp. “Long Leaf” is a good eyecatcher. This plant adds subtlety to the range in texture and color of the fine-leaved Rotalas by having branches that are similar in width to Rotala sp. “Vietnam” but coloration that is closer to Rotala wallichii.
Care Tips
- You should prune the plant regularly
- These plants are sensitive, so it is critical to ensure that they receive adequate nutrition, so monitoring COâ‚‚ and nutrient levels on a regular basis is essential.
Tissue culture plants are young aquatic plants that are developed in-vitro in aquatic plant propagation laboratories. This unique cultivation ensures these plants are devoid of undesired snails, algae, and pesticides, making them completely safe for even the most delicate fish and shrimp species. We offer a diverse range of tissue cultured aquarium plant varieties. Our cultures provide substantial planting portions, and when combined with high-quality fertilizers and COâ‚‚ injection will grow into healthy aquatic plants. Just lower the root portion of the tissue culture's clump that needs to be planted directly into the soil until it is buried halfway into the aquatic soil.Plant Format
