Hi
This plant is doing fine but a few of the stems are growing horizontal i have a twinstar 600e and pressurised co2 and EI dose, i heard high lighting can do this but this is not a high light, any ideas
 
Rotala H'Ra has a growth-pattern quite like Rotala 'green' - they both grow much like a "fountain", upwards and spreading out. They also both have the habit of growing some stems, that will tend to bend downwards and grow horizontal. High light intensity will induce much more horizontal growth and you can actually grow a quite low, orange/pink carpet in very high light and added CO2.
- so your Rotala H'Ra sounds like it is growing the way Rotala H'Ra is supposed to grow.
