Ludwigia palustris 3 stems

Ludwigia palustris 3 stems Growth Characteristics Ludwigia palustris has pointed bight green oval leaves that will develop a pinkish tone on its leaves which are closest to the surface. It has a moderate growth rate defined by approximately one inch (2 cm) of weekly growth. This is a relatively easy and undemanding plant to grow as long as there is plenty of light to allow the leaves to photosynthesize. Ludwigia palustris can be prorogated through side shoots. To trim, aquascapers will divide each stem and replant the healthier tops and side shoots. Like other stem plants, a busy effect can be achieved by cutting just ¾ way down the stem, above the internode (point where leaves attach), and allowing the side shoots to grow out. Aquascaping Application Ludwigia palustris is an ideal midground and background plant for an aquascape. The round leaves can contrast well with grassy foregrounds, or more straight leaf plants. The distinctive pinkish leaves will serve as an attractive element to any aquascape, particularly Dutch influenced aquascapes.
