Growth Rate

Fast growth rate. Round Leaf Ludwigia will utilise nutrients in the water column in the form of liquid fertilisation, although supplemental nutrients are not necessary as this plant will uptake nitrates in the water column. It produces aerial roots readily, which can be left alone or trimmed.

Lighting

Round Leaf Ludwigia will tolerate low to moderate lighting. Higher lighting does encourage some red coloured new growth.
