So...these things I've heard:
Ludwigia is funny, it can turn green on you for no reason.
If you have it in high light it will grow across. But in med or higher level low light it will grow up towards the top.
I bought some a few weeks ago. It had red and green on the same leaves. All the new leaves are coming in green. It is growing sort of diagonal...across but with an upward turn to the end.
Light amount of EI but once a week. Still high level for amount of plants.
2 x T5 bulbs @11-12". But about 15% coverage of Giant Duckweed after
WC but about 40% at weeks end. Daily doses of Excel @ 2x recomended.
Plant growing at about one leaf set per week roughly.
Any reason for no red ? Plant too young ? Just planted one stem. It's
about 6" long. Has two new sprouts at bottom but they are hardly growing. Had fair amount of roots. No tabs/(old dried out)new gravel
as of Feb. so not much of any mulm/detrius in gravel but was in established tank before it dried plus added Flourite cap.
