Ludwigia glandulosa

[Ben Belton]

I'm not as good at this as Ghazanfar, but thought I would contribute <img border="0" src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0">

<em>Ludwigia glandulosa</em> I don't know if it has a common name.

<em>Light:</em>This plant will grow in all levels of light, but if you want it this color, you need very high light.
<em>Growth:</em>Moderate rate
<em>Demands:</em>Easy
<em>Pruning:</em>Like any other stem plant.
<em>Propagation:</em>Will put out new shoots easily.

<em>Experiences:</em>This is not really a favorite plant, but one I grow well and comes out pretty spectacular, so I like to take pics of it. It really gets people interested in some serious growing. I say it is easy to grow (and it is) but remember to have it like this, it requires high light and that in and of itself can be the difficulty.

<em>Planting:</em>Like any other stem plant.

Ludwigia arcuata is the red plant behind it. That IS one of my favorites. Maybe tomorrow night.

Did I do good, G? <img border="0" src="smileys/smiley17.gif" border="0">

Excellent photo Ben, what a neat looking plant. IIRC this one gave folks a -lot- of trouble in years past, I think some really high light levels fixed this problem...

I still have a lot of trouble growing this plant.
I did grow it well emersed though! Gorgeous black-red
glossy leaves!
