Ludwigia Sedioides

$7.95 USD
by Nature Aquariums
Type: AQUARIUM PLANTS

Ludwigia Sedioides, commonly called the Mosaic Plant or False Loosestrife, is a truly one-of-a-kind aquatic plant — its diamond-shaped, dark-to-light green leaves with jagged red edges radiate from a central stem like tiles in a mosaic. The stem is rooted in substrate, but the leaves float on the water's surface — more commonly seen in ponds, but a stunning addition to a large aquarium.

Other Blooms small yellow flowers under light that simulates seasonal change; leaves close at night and unfurl in daylight if lighting follows a day/night cycle. Will shade out anything planted beneath it.
