Description: Up for your consideration is this lot of 100 Ludwigia arcuata seeds. These are the REAL THING. Grown by me in my hobby greenhouse here in Illinois. Growing aquarium and aquatic plants from seed is not that unusual. One of the world's largest producers of aquatic plants (located in Denmark) uses seed to produce some of the aquatic plants that they grow in rockwool and sell in net pots (they even state it on their website). Growing Ludwigia arcuata from seed is challenging because Ludwigia seeds are very small... smaller in size than petunia seeds if you are familiar with those. Unlike many aquatic species, Ludwigia does not need a cold/wet period before sowing to break dormancy. They can be sown right out of the package. If you can grow petunias from seed then you should have no problem with these. They also should be grown in emersed conditions (roots in moist soil, leaves in the air) at first and then transferred to an aquarium later if you wish or they can be grown emersed in a terrarium or paludarium. . They are slow growing at first... the photograph of the young seedlings was taken about 3 weeks after germination. The photographs of the plants in an aquarium are for illustration only and show what the adult plants will look like in an aquarium. The photo of the emersed adult plants are the parents of this seed. You will receive 100 genuine Ludwigia arcuata seeds and growing instructions with each order. Please see my other listings for more aquatic plant seed varieties that I offer. I've been growing aquatic plants for 50 years and I first sold aquatic plant seeds in the early 1980's through classified ads in popular aquarium magazines. Give aquatic seeds a try... it's a satisfying experience and science is fun! Thank you. Please check the photographs closely. They provide important detail of this item and are part of the description of this item. Local pickup from my N.E. Illinois location is always welcome for large or heavy items. Thanks for considering this item.
