Trimming also helps to maintain vertical shape, Initially I cut it quite low to the substrate to create branching The next trim (a few weeks later) I cut just before it wants to bend, new branches give structure, and continue to do so to get a bush that stands up with stability. This way you can simultaneously have carpeting glosso with a bush of attentive rotala.

This video is next level! So helpful and informative for aquascaping. I also enjoyed the looping background music which sounds like a town theme from a retro JRPG xD
Thank you so much. I was having the same issue but was thinking opposite. Instead of reducing the intensity of the light, I maxed it out. Yes. I'm a newby to this field. The tank was densely planted. Rotala sp green and blood red. Both started crawling @ 50% of the light too. So I'm thinking of doing a full trim and replanting more densely and changing the light intensity to 30%. What do you think about this? Thank you so much
In my tank, Ludwigia repens 'super red' is crawling. I wish I could set up another tank for it to make a bright red iwagumi, perhaps with Alternantheria reineckii 'scarlet temple' in the background.
How to get rotala HRA to be super red ? I’ve got high light and nitrate limitation. However the rotala is still not red. It was bought emersed , but it’s been 6 weeks already.
Full Spectrum Light intesity... High Intensity... Full Spectrum is just not Red & Blue... but RGB + UV.... warm white (3000k + 5000k) is the best... plants love it... don't be tricky about blue light information or any... just use any light contain UV... but i suggest the Full Spectrum for not too artificial...
Official WASABI Moderator: Good lighting (full spectrum helps, but not required) coupled with at least 30ppm CO2, good liquid fertilization and good filtration is key. Hope this helps!
Also it may take a while of low nitrate to get red.I had issues in previous tanks with rotala hra and other variations not getting color even with nitrate limitation and high light. I think the spectrum makes a difference as I have changed my T5 bulbs to bulbs with more red and blue peaks and it helped with the color even at highish nitrate levels. Also make sure that the plant is healthy and co2 and other nutrients are provided at reasonable levels and that the water is not too hard. It may help to do more frequent water changes to see if you really have low nitrates, sometimes test kits aren’t accurate and also don’t test other forms of nitrogen, these may be increasing plant growth and preventing the red pigment production. By water changing you will reduce all forms of nitrogen, but make sure to keep other levels high enough.
i am using bamboo stick... 😭😭 before it dense... (in case not using hardscape)... after dense, the stick unsight... and rotala grow upward.. this case also need mid-plants to force the front to grow upward...
This channel is so underrated. Thanks for the info. ありがとうございました

Official WASABI Moderator: Spot on with the trimming of stem plants! It's the only way to achieve a 'bush'. ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ
I like to trim the apical bud off of creeping stems to get them to send axial shoots upwards.
10/10 and subscribed to the channel.
This is so underrated channel
Very informative! Now i know how to deal with my crawling rotala greens. Thank you for the wonderful tips! 🙏🏽☺️
omg this why my rotala keep crawling. great video!

Excellent video!!
Just what I was looking for! 👍🏼
Many thanks. I'm having the exact issue in my tank. Keep up the good work. 👍❤️
Your comment encourages me to make more videos, thank you! - Official WASABI Moderator.

I love your video’s! Can you make a video about plant deficiency’s? Like which symptoms lead to which deficiency on plants!😊
Official WASABI Moderator: We have posted videos in regards to nutrient deficiencies, please check them out at our channel! ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ
this is very educational and easy to understand, thank you very much!!
Спасибо большое за такое информативное видео, благодаря вам я решил свою проблему)
Very nice voice. I learnt something as suspected why my glossostima was growing upwards due to a deep tank and using too low a light
its AI
Terimakasih.
Sekarang saya punya cara mengupayakan rotala green saya tumbuh ke atas.
Best regards : budiawan
learned a lot in this one.
Thanks buddy for put your video in English 👍
Beautiful studio
thank you for the information
Thank you
We’ll explained thanks

Im newbie to aquascape......how to contact you
i am using bamboo stick... 😭😭 before it dense... (in case not using hardscape)...
after dense, the stick unsight... and rotala grow upward.. this case also need mid-plants to force the front to grow upward...
Official WASABI Moderator: Keep up the good work ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ
i decided to crawl so everyone else can run
It's honestly kind of cool to let it grow horizontally and carpet.
i can't even able to grow ths with all the hightech thing but without soil
Official WASABI Moderator: Hi Muhammad, you need soil for stem plants to thrive.
Speed audio up next time
Play this vid at 1.25 speed, you'll thank me later.
This is a 5 minute video but you keep talking like an Ent and repeating yourself.
