Description
This Ludwigia is labeled with vaying names: "Mesakana", "Mesacana", "Messancana" etc. It is a colourful, round-leaved selection of Ludwigia repens.
Ludwigia repens 'Mesakana' is not a particularly difficult plant, but has somewhat higher demands than "standard" L. repens. A good macro- and micronutrient supply is important, also rather soft water is beneficial. Good lighting provides vibrand red and orange tones.
In the midground to background of not too small aquaria, a bush of Ludwigia repens 'Mesakana' provides a colourful eyecatcher. It contrasts well with fine-textured green plants.
