Common Name: Ludwigia Sphaerocarpa
Ludwigia Sphaerocarpa is an interesting species of Ludwigia that is native to the United States and commonly found in moist, wet coastal areas along Massachusetts down to eastern Texas. Unlike other species in the Ludwigia genus, Ludwigia Sphaerocarpa is not characterized by quick-growing stems. Once established and with consistent pruning, this aquarium plant displays attractive crowns that grow low and range in red to orange colors. Unlike the usual vertical growth, this particular species grows low and exhibits more of a horizontal growth pattern.
To maintain this aquatic plant, relatively strong aquarium lighting should be used and this plant should not be placed in areas that receive shade. Doing so results in a dull green color along with slower growth. Like other stem plants, propagation is simple. Cut the stem and replant into quality aquarium soil.
This is an uncommon Ludwigia, not long known in the aquarium hobby. Ludwigia sphaerocarpa, the Roundfruit Primrose Willow, is one of the many Ludwigia species native to the wetlands of southwestern North America. This species is actually long known to science, however only some years ago hobbyists in the USA discovered its qualities as aquarium plant. The emersed plant has a rather inconspicuous look, with its shrubby growth and narrow, green leaves. The more spectacular is its submerged habit: the underwater shoots are very compact, almost rosette-like, and good lighting provided, the leaves develop striking orange-brown tones.
Ludwigia sphaerocarpa benefits much from strong lighting, CO2 supply and a nutrient-rich substrate. It grows relatively slowly; the thick stems grow almost creeping to ascending. Occasional pruning enhances ramification, and the cuttings can be used for propagation.
The unique appearance of this rare Ludwigia is showcased best in the foreground to midground of not too small aquariums. A group of few, well developed shoots forms a distinctive colour and shape accent and contrasts well with low, green, small-leaved plants.
