How to Care for the Plant

Water
It's a water plant.
Sunlight
They do require a high light intensity of 3 to 5 watts per gallon of full spectrum (5000-7000K) light.
Soil
The Ludwigia Repens has very strong roots, so you can use almost any kind of substrate. However, it is better not to use sand, as this can suffocate the roots. Also, if your substrate does not have nutrients you have to consider using chemicals to “feed” the plant, at least in the first few months.
