2. Substrate:
- Plant Rotala in a nutrient-rich substrate to ensure it receives essential nutrients. Use a quality aquarium substrate or add root tabs for additional nutrients.
3. CO2 Injection:
- Consider supplementing with CO2 to enhance growth and coloration. While Rotala can grow without CO2, providing it can lead to more robust development.
4. Water Parameters:
- Maintain a temperature range of 72-78°F (22-26°C).
- pH should be slightly acidic to neutral, ideally between 6.0-7.5.
- Keep water hardness in the range of 3-8 dGH.
5. Fertilization:
- Use a comprehensive liquid fertilizer to provide essential nutrients regularly. Rotala benefits from a balanced mix of micronutrients and macronutrients.
6. Pruning:
- Regularly trim the tops of the stems to encourage bushier growth and prevent the plant from becoming too leggy. This helps maintain an attractive appearance.
7. Propagation:
- Rotala is easy to propagate through stem cuttings. Simply cut a healthy stem and replant it in the substrate. New shoots will develop from the cuttings.
8. Water Flow:
- Ensure good water circulation in the aquarium to prevent algae growth on the leaves. Moderate water flow helps distribute nutrients efficiently.
9. Pests and Diseases:
- Keep an eye out for signs of pests or diseases. Quarantine new plants before introducing them to prevent potential issues.
