Ludwigia helminthorrhiza

Save this plant or add it directly to one of your aquariums.

Entity overview

The profile uses floating growth behavior alongside floating placement tags.

For entity matching, taxonomy contributes genus Ludwigia, family Onagraceae, order Myrtales, and major group Angiosperms.

For broader context and filtering, open the Aquarium Plant Library.

Water parameter context

For water matching, the ranges are temperature 25–30 °C, pH 6–7.5, KH 4–15 °dKH, and CO2 0–40 mg/L.

Planning tool: Estimate CO2 balance.

Nutrient range context

Nutrient-related values in this profile include nitrate 10–50 mg/L, phosphate 0.1–3 mg/L, potassium 5–30 mg/L, and iron 0.01–0.5 mg/L.

Related calculator: Calculate nutrient dosing.

Care data interpretation

For aquarium planning, care values include difficult difficulty, low light demand, and recommended CO2.

Emersed growth appears as a supported profile value.

Useful next step: Calculate suitable lighting.

Growth and use data

The propagation field gives cuttings.

This profile uses available plant-library values; aquarium results can vary by setup.
