{"product_id":"ludwigia-glandulosa","title":"Ludwigia Glandulosa","description":"\u003cp\u003eLudwigia glandulosa is a highly striking, deep red to purple aquatic stem plant native to the wetlands of the southeastern United States. Also known as the cylindricfruit primrose-willow or small-flowered seedbox, it is famous in the aquascaping community for its intense burgundy coloration, which provides a dramatic contrast against green aquarium backdrops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is an intermediate to advanced care plant because it requires strong lighting and carbon dioxide (CO₂) injection to maintain its vibrant red color and healthy growth. Without proper conditions, it will easily lose its lower leaves or turn entirely green.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey Requirements for Vibrant Coloration\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh Lighting Intensity: Light dictates the color. Under weak or moderate light, the plant turns green. Intensive, full-spectrum LED lighting forces shorter leaf nodes and triggers the brilliant red and purple hues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCO₂ Injection: While it can survive without it, CO₂ is highly recommended. It grows exceptionally slowly under anaerobic or low-CO₂ conditions. Supplementation guarantees faster, fuller growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeavy Iron \u0026amp; Nutrient Dosing: To bring out the deepest burgundy shades, the plant requires a rich environment. Regular liquid fertilizer dosing and a nutrient-dense substrate (or root tabs) high in iron are vital.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlanting, Trimming, and Propagation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlanting Spacing: Never bunch stems tightly together. Plant individual stems a few centimeters apart so that light can easily reach the lower leaves. If shadowed, the lower leaves will rot and fall off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSubstrate Strategy: Use fine gravel or specialized aqua-soil. When burying the stem, only submerge the roots; do not bury any low-lying leaves to avoid stem rot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrimming for Bushiness: Left alone, it grows in a tall, vertical line. Cut the top of the stem to encourage the plant to branch out into a bushier shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"iNqyIf\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" jsaction=\"\" jscontroller=\"KdQfFc#d5Qebf\" data-sfc-root=\"ep\" jsuid=\"GOdoSd_63\" data-complete=\"true\" data-copy-service-computed-style='font-family: \"Google Sans\", Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(230, 232, 240);'\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"rQesXe MPyX\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" jsaction=\"\" jscontroller=\"tP2kf#s32ZS\" data-sfc-root=\"ep\" jsuid=\"GOdoSd_64\" data-complete=\"true\" data-copy-service-computed-style='font-family: \"Google Sans\", Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(230, 232, 240);'\u003ePropagation Method:\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e Propagating is easy via \u003cstrong class=\"rQesXe MPyX\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" jsaction=\"\" jscontroller=\"tP2kf#s32ZS\" data-sfc-root=\"ep\" jsuid=\"GOdoSd_65\" data-complete=\"true\" data-copy-service-computed-style='font-family: \"Google Sans\", Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(230, 232, 240);'\u003ehead cuttings\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e.
