Caring for Your Ludwigia

To help your Ludwigia thrive, it’s important to provide medium to high lighting, ensuring about 8 hours of light daily to maintain vibrant colors. While Ludwigia can grow in basic gravel, using nutrient-rich substrates or adding liquid fertilizers will enhance its growth and health. These aquarium aquatic plants prefer water temperatures between 72-82°F (22-28°C) and a pH range of 6.0-7.5, adapting well to most freshwater conditions. Regular trimming is essential, as Ludwigia grows quickly and can become leggy; pruning encourages bushier growth and even allows for propagation through cuttings.

How to Plant Ludwigia in Your Aquarium

To add Ludwigia to your fish tank, choose a spot in the mid or background. Rinse the roots, trim damaged leaves, and use tweezers to plant the stems into a nutrient-rich substrate or basic gravel with root tabs. Ensure the plants receive medium to high lighting for 8 hours daily to maintain vibrant colors. Keep the water temperature between 72-82°F (22-28°C) and a pH of 6.0-7.5. Regularly prune to encourage bushier growth and prevent overgrowth, ensuring your Ludwigia stays healthy and adds stunning color to your aquascape.
