    Ludwigia sedoides Very desirable surface-covering plant with curious diamond-shaped leaves arranged in cute little rosettes. Rapid spreader provides a cooling effect to the pond below. Occasionally flowers yellow, but this plant is grown for its leaves rather than its flowers. (GreenVille Virginia : http://64.224.96.217/ShopSite/abogp.html)

    Sorry the condition are not at their best, because I just bought them yesterday.







    Anyone care to share your experience with this plant? Thanks

    Jeffrey

    Interesting plant. You can plant it in the substrate? But it will grow to the surface?

    I have only seen something similar here, but bigger - Trapa natans (also known as Water Chestnut when I did a search.)

    Here's a pic from a website:

    Notice it has air pocket in the stem of the leaf to keep buoyant?

    Yes, I plant it in the rich fertilizer substrate and it will grow to the surface. The leaves don't have air pocket to keep them floating. Here is the picture from the website when it grow under optimum condition.

    It also grows red-blood coloured leaves on the surface under high light condition. More pics :

    This is a nice plant and it CAN be found locally... but you are going to need a BIG tank for it once it matures.. Grows to the surface too...
