Hi
Added this rotala wallichii 1 2 grow to my black water tank the other week as I saw something online mentioning that rotala wallichii wasn’t a difficult plant at all and could be grown low tech as long as it had soft water. I thought I’d gamble and give it a go. I was expecting the plant to melt in a matter of days if I’m honest but was pleasantly surprised. The plants only been in there around a week and has at least doubled in size and started to develop the typical form of wallichii. This tank has no ferts at all and a tds normally around the 30-50 mark. I’m using a little aquael leddy light and the surface is often covered in duckweed.
I thought this was a plant that can only survive high tech. Granted it’s not been long so the plant could still fade away but it looks pretty good to me so far.
