Ludwigia Glandulusa
Ludwigia glandulosa, commonly known as glandular ludwigia or scarlet ludwigia, is an aquatic plant species in the Onagraceae family. It's popular in the aquarium hobby due to its striking red to purple coloration, which intensifies under strong light. The plant is native to the southeastern United States and grows in shallow waters, wetlands, and along stream banks.
Here are some key characteristics of Ludwigia glandulosa:
Growth Form: Ludwigia glandulosa grows both submerged and emergent, with submerged forms being more sought after in aquariums. Its leaves are lance-shaped and can exhibit bright colors, ranging from green to deep red or purple, depending on lighting and nutrient conditions.
Care Requirements: It requires high light, sufficient nutrients, and CO2 supplementation to thrive in aquariums. Without proper care, it may lose its color or growth may become stunted.
Uses: It's used primarily for aquascaping to create vibrant, colorful contrasts with green plants in aquarium setups.
