Ludwigia Mato Grosso is a very cool species that is new to the U.S.A. It has a yellow-green coloration, with a pink/orange fade submerged in medium-high lighting. Care is relatively easy with co2 injection. It doesn’t seem to be picky about PH or hardness and does well in lean or rich fertilizer conditions. It seems to transition between submerged and emersed very easily and It grows very happily as a floater without co2 as well! We find that emersed stems tend to adapt to new tanks more easily than submerged stems coming from another tank, so we try so send emersed stems instead of submerged when possible.
Sold by the individual stem emersed or submerged.
