Planting and Growing Tips

Plant Water Mosaic in a small aquatic pot filled with heavy, nutrient-rich soil and place it beneath the water. Its stems grow towards the surface, where the distinctive rosettes develop and spread.

Provide bright light and warm water for healthy growth and attractive leaf colour. Nutrient availability is important, so aquatic fertiliser suitable for rooted pond plants may help. Avoid handling the plant roughly because its stems are relatively brittle.

Important: Ludwigia Sedioides is primarily a pond, water-garden and large open-top container plant. It is not a typical fully submerged aquarium plant like Java Fern or Anubias. It may struggle in small aquariums with insufficient light or limited surface space.
