Ludwigia palustris ‘Red’ – medium Categ.

Golden-brown LudwigiaThis background Ludwigia is easy to grow and easy to care for. Normal lighting is sufficient, but more intense light will ensure you get the best possible colours. In an emersed state the plants are almost green to a light reddish-brown. They are very tolerant of different water temperatures, and you can even plant them around the edge of a pond in the summer. Propagation is via tip cuttings or side shoots. It grows relatively quickly and so requires frequent pruning.
