Mosaic Ludwigia (Ludwigia sedioides), bunch

Mosaic Ludwigia will be a unique addition to your pond or aquarium that boasts large flower like leaves that float on the surface!

Mosaic Ludwigia (Ludwigia inclinata) is one of the more unique plants in the aquairum hobby! This plant forms its leaves into a mosaic tile medallion shape that floats on top of the surface of the water. The leaves are each in the shape of a diamond that vary from dark to light green with red edges. The stem needs to be planted in the substrate but the leaves will float on the surface making it a unique addition to your pond or aquarium.

It can can be a little touchy and does best in very stable water conditions. It also thrives best in low to no flow set ups. Be sure to handle Mosaic Ludwigia with care as it can be fragile when being handled. 

Mosaic Ludwigia requires high lighting and will benefit from from CO2 supplementation and micronutrients such as iron in particular. 

It will bloom if lighting simulates the seasonal changes. The blooms will be yellow and resemble buttercups. When lighting is set this way the leaves will fold up at night and unfurl fully in light hours. 

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