Ludwigia repens is a beautiful and fast
growing aquarium plant. The leaves are olive-green usually with a red lower
side. Ludwigia repens thrive even in moderate light though the red
colour becomes less intensive. In open aquaria the plant
easily grow out of the water where yellow flowers are produced. It is
an easy plant which is propagated by cuttings. Cutting the larger plant also
results in a more bushy appearance. Ludwigia repens requires a quite
nutrient rich substrate as most other fast growing plants. During the
summer-time Ludwigia repens can be grown outdoors in shallow ponds.
Often, Ludwigia repens is mistakenly sold for L. natans in
the shops.
