Product description & details
Ludwigia repens ‘Mesakana’ is a colorful stem plant which produces larger, rounder and more intensely colored leaves than the classic Ludwigia repens. Leaf colors can range from green to orange and red. It is ideal for the middle to background of larger aquariums and forms a beautiful contrast to green and narrow-leaved plants. In terms of care, it is a little more demanding than the classic Ludwigia repens and requires strong lighting and a good supply of nutrients in order to thrive. In addition, soft water is preferred over harder water. Even if this is not absolutely necessary, an addition of CO2 is recommended in order to exploit the full potential of the Ludwigia. The compact, bushy growth of this fast-growing plant can be promoted by regular pruning.
