March Seedbox is a widespread Ludwigia species that has potential to reach total, radiant red/pink coloration under optimal conditions!

Marsh Seedbox (Ludwigia palustris), also known as Water Purslane, is a very striking red plant for the freshwater aquarium. With optimal care, this hardy, fast-growing plant can flourish and highlight the middle or background of the aquascape with intense, complete red coloration. It can thrive with only moderate lighting, but it has the potential for complete red coloration with higher lighting, proper supplementation, and iron-rich substrate.

Marsh Seedbox requires moderate to high lighting. Its trimmings can be replanted. It does not require CO₂ supplementation, but CO₂ supplementation will contribute to more optimal growth and health. High lighting and iron-rich substrate is necessary for this plant to maintain its optimal ultra red coloration. Under moderate lighting, it can still thrive, but it will have a great deal of green coloration.

Like most plants, Marsh Seedbox will benefit from supplementation such as Seachem Flourish, Flourish Excel, Flourish Nitrogen, Flourish Iron, and other plant supplements.

No aquarium plant distributor/nursery/wholesaler/retailer can or will guarantee their plants to be 100% snail free. We can not guarantee our plants will be snail free.

Shipping Schedule for this service

UPS 1 Day: Monday through Thursday

Current Handling Time:

1-9 business days

Here at Aquatic Arts, we consider the welfare of the live animals we are shipping to be of the foremost importance. This process is much more involved than simply creating a shipping label and affixing it to a box. Depending on the order, it takes from 4 to 7 people to complete this process properly. We check the weather conditions here where they fly out of the Indianapolis UPS facility and the destination for each shipment. We start early each morning and go through a multi-step process to have the day's shipments prepared in time for the UPS pickup. The volume of orders in our system also affects the processing time. Therefore our stated handling time is 1-9 business days.

Shipping Rate

Pricing is by size of package needed to fill entire order and distance it must travel. It will be calculated at checkout.
