Hello! I'm having difficulty turning my Rotala 'Vietnam H'ra' red in my nano tank. At the moment, only the underside of my leaves are a lovely light pink colour, and the tops are almost entirely green. The plant has never been red, and I've been growing it for around 6 months.
From my initial research, it seems like switching my fertilisation from TNC Complete to a bespoke mix with reduced N and increased Fe might worth a shot? However, I could easily be missing something obvious, so please let me know.

Many thanks for any advice.
