Ludwigia sphaerocarpa ‘Mini’ RARE

Ludwigia sphaerocarpa ‘Mini’

Ludwigia sphaerocarpa ‘Mini’ is a compact and highly decorative stem plant prized for its tight growth and vibrant coloration. This miniature variety features small, rounded leaves that develop warm tones ranging from bright green to golden yellow, with hints of orange under stronger lighting. Its naturally dense growth habit makes it perfect for creating bushy midground accents or adding fine detail to aquascapes without overwhelming the layout.

Under high light and with CO₂ injection, ‘Mini’ will stay low, compact, and intensely coloured. In lower light setups, it grows slightly taller with a more relaxed spacing between leaves while still maintaining its attractive form. Regular trimming encourages lateral shoots, allowing you to create thick, lush clusters.

This species adapts well to a wide range of water parameters and responds positively to both lean and nutrient-rich fertilisation. It’s an excellent choice for aquascapers looking for a colourful, manageable stem plant that adds texture and contrast to planted tanks.
