Rotala Wallichii growth issues.


Ok have been trying to grow this plant for some time now. The tips stay red, but the lower end and mid part of the stems just loose leaves and also after sometime looses the red color.

Need to know what are the ideal conditions to grow this plant.

Lighting : 3500k 30 watts LED and 6500K 50 watts LED 6 inches above water level
Fliteration : SICCE Internal power filter ( Changing to TetraTec EX90)
Tank volume : 35 Gal
Ferts : Seachem Flourish 1/week, Borneowild Vivid 2/week, Seachem FE 5ml every water change.

A plant shedding leaves is generally a light issue. Lower leaves dont get enough light. You might want to up the fert dosing a little bit.
