Planting and Care:
Ludwigia repens is typically planted directly into the substrate. Providing a nutrient-rich substrate will support healthy growth and vibrant colors. Regular trimming is recommended to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Cuttings can be easily replanted to propagate the plant. Higher light and consistent CO2 levels will promote the most intense red coloration. Iron supplementation can also contribute to richer reds.
