Ludwigia Repens

Ludwigia Repens

Ludwigia Repens is an excellent choice for any aquascape. As far as stems go, this species is relatively undemanding given that CO2 is not required (but always helps). A basic planted tank setup should give you success with this species provided you have medium light and nutrients available within the water column. We recommend providing a nice balanced liquid fertilizer and if possible a nutrient rich substrate or root tabs.

This species has the capability of developing nice deep red colors. Reds often develop on the underside of the leaves, but can become more pronounced when provided high lighting, nutrients, and CO2.

Our Ludwigia Repens is grown in house!

Please note: plants from the genus Ludwigia are on the fragile side. Please handle with care and plant as soon as possible to ensure best results with Ludwigia species.

Tips:

- Plant each stem deep into the substrate to allow roots to develop and anchor the plant. 

- Once anchored, cut the stems to encourage a more bushy appearance, or let them grow tall to create a beautiful backdrop in any aquarium.

- Whenever you cut this plant as mentioned above, make sure to replant the cut portions. This will allow you to propagate this species quickly!
