Ludwigia <\/span><\/i>glandulosa is one of the prettiest colorful aquarium plants, but it is also one of the most difficult to care for. It develops superb wine-red leaves under favourable conditions – strong lighting, good CO\u2082 supply, nutrient-rich substrate, temperatures not permanently above 25 \u00b0C. This Ludwigia species is found in southeastern North American marshes. In trade, it is frequently mislabeled as “<\/span>Ludwigia<\/span><\/i> perennis” or “Ludwigia peruensis.”<\/span><\/p>\n

It looks best in the midground as a standalone clump of stems of various lengths. It has erect, slightly branching, strong submerged stems that are densely set with small, lanceolate leaves, unlike other Ludwigias<\/em>. Ludwigia<\/em> glandulosa is an excellent accent plant because of its vivid hue.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ludwigia <\/span><\/i>glandulosa (ssp. glandulosa and ssp. brachycarpa), a cylindric-fruited primrose willow, is widespread in most of the southeastern United States. To the north, it has a distribution region that includes Illinois and Indiana. Wetland areas are preferred, but wet road ditches are also ok. <\/span><\/p>\n

In Indiana and Louisiana, despite its widespread distribution, it is classified as endangered or severely endangered.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is commonly sold under the incorrect name “<\/span>Ludwigia<\/span><\/i> perennis,” which is the name of another species found in Asia, Africa, and Australia and is not a synonym for L. glandulosa. It’s also known as “Ludwigia peruensis,” which is clearly derived from the word “perennis.”<\/span><\/p>\n
