Care Tips: Ludwigia sphaerocarpa is a beautiful aquatic plant with striking, narrow leaves that develop a reddish tint when exposed to bright lighting. It thrives in medium to high lighting conditions and benefits from a nutrient-rich substrate. For optimal growth, CO₂ injection and regular fertilization can be helpful, although it can still grow in aquariums without CO₂. This plant does best when planted in the midground or background due to its height potential. It has a moderate growth rate, and regular pruning is needed to keep its shape tidy and prevent it from becoming too leggy. Ludwigia sphaerocarpa may also develop more intense coloration under optimal conditions, making it a great addition for aquascapes looking for vibrant colors. It prefers slightly acidic to neutral water and stable environmental conditions.
