Description
A natural hybrid from Ludwigia brevipes and L. palustris hardly known in Europe. It looks like a larger version of Ludwigia arcuata, with brown-orange submersed leaves. Easy to cultivate and a faster grower than L. arcuata and L. brevipes. It forms a nice, lush hedge in the midground and background.
Characteristics
Ludwigia x lacustris is a very rare natural hybrid of L. brevipes and L. palustris. It is found in some locations in the east and south-east of the USA. As aquarium plant, this narrow-leaved Ludwigia is not very well-known yet.
Curiously, some of the areas where L. x lacustris occurs are outside the distribution area of L. brevipes, which is mainly found in the south-east of Virginia as well as in North and South Carolina. Where L. x lacustris occurs in nature it grows abundantly and sometimes even outpopulates its parent species.

For a biotope tank I was looking for a southeastern North American :) plant that still grows under weak lighting. And of course looks pretty.

Schöne Ludwigia!
Für ein Biotopbecken war ich auf der Suche nach einer südostnordamerikanischen :) Pflanze, die auch mit schwacher Beleuchtung noch wächst. Und natürlich hübsch aussieht.
Es sieht ganz so aus, als wäre ich mit dieser x lacustris fündig geworden. Die Umstellung der Invitro Stängelchen dauerte einige Zeit aber jetzt, einige Wochen später legt die Pflanze los. Sehr langsam zwar aber das ist durchaus gewollt. Bei ca. 10 Lumen pro Liter bleiben die Blätter weitgehend grün, was ebenfalls gewollt ist.
You really get a lot of small plantlets out of one in-vitro cup. The transition to growing in the aquarium does require a bit of patience.

tolle Rarität
Aus einem In Vitro Töpfchen bekommt man wirklich sehr viele kleine Pflänzchen raus. Die Umstellung auf das Wachstum im Aquarium erfordert aber ein bisschen Gedult.
