Ludwigia helminthorrhiza 'Floating'

This floating form of Ludwigia helminthorrhiza is cultivated for surface coverage, offering dense mats of rounded green leaves with distinctive white pneumatophore roots beneath. It provides excellent shading and natural filtration benefits while creating a naturalistic surface display. Ideal for South American biotope tanks housing species that prefer diffused lighting.

Float on the water surface in medium light. Grows quickly in nutrient-rich water. Thin periodically to prevent complete surface coverage and maintain adequate gas exchange. Provides natural shade that discus, Apistogramma, and blackwater species appreciate. Compatible with all freshwater inhabitants.
