Ludwigia palustris ‘Green’ (Potted)

Ludwigia palustris ‘Green’ is a vibrant and easy-to-grow stem plant, offering a fresh alternative to its well-known red counterpart. With its lush green tones and simple care requirements, it’s an excellent choice for adding contrast, balance, and natural depth to planted aquariums.

Appearance

This variety features bright green, oval-shaped leaves that grow along upright stems, creating a clean and vibrant look. Its consistent green coloration makes it especially effective when paired with red plants, helping to highlight and enhance contrasting tones within the aquascape.

Aquascaping Use

Ludwigia ‘Green’ is ideal for midground to background placement, where it can be planted in groups to form soft, bushy clusters. It’s perfect for creating contrast in layouts dominated by reds or darker greens, and works well in both nature-style and more structured aquascapes.

Care & Requirements

• Difficulty: Easy

• Growth Rate: Medium

• Height: 10–30 cm

• Lighting: Low to medium

• CO₂: Optional

This is a highly adaptable plant that thrives in a wide range of conditions, making it suitable for both low-tech and high-tech aquariums. While it grows well without CO₂, added CO₂ and stronger lighting will encourage denser growth.

Planting Tips (Potted)

Remove the plant from its pot and rinse away the rockwool. Separate into individual stems or small groups and plant into the substrate with some spacing to allow for natural growth and branching.

Growth & Maintenance

Regular trimming encourages bushier growth and helps maintain a tidy appearance. Cut stems can be replanted to create fuller groups and expand coverage within the aquascape.
