It grows at a slow rate with the correct maintenance and care. CO2 supplementation in particular is required for Red Star Ludwigia to really thrive and flourish. High lighting is required for it to maintain its deep red coloration. It can be planted in the substrate and stems of excessive length can be trimmed, then the cuttings can be replanted to increase the bunch.  It can also be planted emersed in paludariums and viquariums.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis listing is for the tissue culture form of \u003cem\u003eLudwigia glandulosa\u003c\/em\u003e. Tissue cultures are superior to traditional forms of aquarium plants in many ways. They are produced in a completely sterile environment which eliminates the possibility of them carrying pest snails or algae spores. They have a shelf life (before introduction to the aquarium) of several months if properly maintained and they are housed in a nutrient gel until introduced to the aquarium. To introduce a tissue culture plant to the aquarium, simply rinse off as much nutrient gel as possible, then plant as usual. The nutrient gel will not harm your aquarium.  \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhat We Like About This Plant:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBeautiful red coloration with proper care\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eModerately prolific and easy to prune\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePerfect for a middle ground highlight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDoes not produce side stems like many other\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLudwigia\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003especies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRewarding challenge for the ambitious aquarist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCare Guidelines:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTemperature: 68° - 82° F (20° - 28° C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003epH: 5.5 - 8.0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLighting: High\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOrigin: Indigenous to Middle and Southeastern United States, but cultivated in US nurseries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAquarium placement: Middle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCare: Moderate to Difficult, CO2 supplementation is required for optimal growth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Aquarium Plants","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39346929500249,"sku":"","price":290.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0075\/9814\/5587\/products\/Ludwigia.glandulosa.best4pets.in.jpg?v=1658152736","url":"https:\/\/www.best4pets.in\/products\/ludwiga-glandulosa-tc","provider":"Best4Pets","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
