Planting & Maintenance Tips
Plant Ludwigia ‘White’ stems individually or in small groups with space between each stem to allow light and water flow to reach the lower leaves. Frequent trimming helps encourage side shoots and creates a fuller, more compact appearance.
For the best cream-white and pink coloration, provide strong lighting, CO2 supplementation, and consistent fertilization. Without CO2 or strong light, growth may be slower and coloration may appear more green, pale, or subdued.
