Ludwigia sphaerocarpa, commonly known as the Globefruit Primrose-Willow, is a distinctive and rare aquatic plant that brings vibrant color and unique texture to freshwater aquariums. Native to the wetlands of southwestern North America, this species has recently gained popularity among aquarists for its compact, rosette-like submerged growth and striking orange, red foliage under optimal conditions.

Key Features:

• Compact Rosette Growth: Forms dense, almost rosette-like structures when submerged, making it ideal for foreground to midground placement in aquascapes.

• Moderate Growth Rate: Grows relatively slowly, allowing for easy maintenance and minimal pruning.

• Versatile Placement: Suitable for various aquarium sizes, providing a unique focal point without overwhelming other flora.

Optimal Growing Conditions:

• Lighting: Strong lighting is essential to promote compact growth and enhance the orange-brown coloration of the leaves.

• CO₂ & Nutrients: Supplemental CO₂ and a nutrient-rich substrate are beneficial for robust growth and vibrant colors.

• Water Parameters: Prefers a pH range of 5.0 to 7.0 and temperatures between 64°F to 82°F (18°C to 28°C).

Aquarium Benefits:

• Aesthetic Appeal: Adds a unique color and texture, creating a striking contrast with green plants and enhancing the overall visual interest of the aquarium.

• Habitat Enrichment: Provides shelter and hiding spots for small fish and invertebrates, promoting a natural and balanced ecosystem.

Care & Maintenance:

• Pruning: Occasional trimming encourages branching and maintains the desired shape. Cuttings can be replanted to propagate new growth.

• Propagation: Easily propagated through stem cuttings; simply plant trimmed stems into the substrate to establish new plants.

• Compatibility: Thrives alongside other moderate-light plants and is suitable for both novice and experienced aquarists.
