Ludwigia sedioides, the Mosaic Flower Ludwigia, is a fascinating aquatic plant that adds an exotic touch to any aquarium. This plant develops an intricate rosette of diamond-shaped leaves that form a mosaic-like pattern on the water's surface. It is a stem plant, which is rooted in the substrate and produces a floating crown on the surface.

The leaves of Ludwigia sedioides have serrated margins and are green in lower light conditions. However, when grown in high light or full sun, the entire plant turns a vibrant red colour, making it a stunning addition to warm ponds and bright aquariums. Ludwigia sedioides is a relatively fast growing plant, and is capable of growing in a wide range of water parameters. However, it does require both high light and warm water temperatures between 22–28°C to grow well. Native to the swamps and marshlands of South America, it especially thrives in softer water with a slightly acidic pH.

To promote optimal growth, it's recommended to provide Ludwigia sedioides with a nutrient-rich substrate, CO2 injection, and regular fertilisation. The plant will grow until it reaches the water's surface in the aquarium. This is a unique and beautiful plant that can add a unique look and a touch of colour to your pond or aquarium. With proper care, this plant can thrive and provide a stunning display as it spreads across the surface of the water.
