im just wondering what everyone else experiences are with red ludwigia. ive never done a very hardcore plant setup. right now i got a 20g long with 2 regular fluorescent lights and have some in it and its one of my fastest growing plants. i also remember having a 20g high starter set with a regular 24 inch fluorescent light and still having that plant grow well. everywhere i look it says high or medium light and thats what everyone at the lfs tell me also but i have found it very easy to grow this plant. anyone else have similiar experiences?
 
It's not too tough, but without a lot of light and iron it won't be red anymore.
 
Depends on the specific type of lud. Broadleaf and narrow leaf are pretty easy to grow, but many of the other red luds are hard to grow.
 
interesting. i just find it wierd that ive been able to grow that well and struggle with crypts which are supposed to be easy low light plants.
