Rooted mean that this plant was cultivated in soil and sent to you in soil
Why do we offer this plant in soil?
Our research here at our facility reveals that plants previously grown in soil adapt more quickly to aquatic environments compared to those cultivated in regular rockwool pots. We attribute this to the closer resemblance to their natural evolutionary conditions.
What's the alternative to soil-planted plants?
- The standard option is plants potted in rockwool, commonly available at your local aquatic store.
- Additionally, during the summer months, we also provide submerged plants for most species.

Ludwigia brevipes 'Green' also known as Ludwigia brevipes 'Brocklee Green' is an aquatic plant of the family Onagraceae. It is a small, stem plant that is native to the Americas.
This plant can be found in a variety of habitats, including still and slow-moving waters, marshes, and swamps. It is a hardy and adaptable plant that can grow in a range of water conditions, including both fresh and brackish water.
The 'Green' variety is a fast-growing plant that can reach a height of 20-40 cm (8-16 inches) and width of 2-3 cm (0.8-1.2 inches) with bright green leaves. It is a popular choice for aquascaping and aquaria as it adds a vibrant green color and leafy texture to the underwater landscape.
In terms of care, Ludwigia brevipes 'Green' is not demanding and can be grown under a range of lighting conditions, from low to high. It is generally considered to be a low-maintenance plant that is easy to propagate through stem cuttings. It can also be grown emersed, that is, with the leaves above water in a terrarium or paludarium setup.
It is important to note that like most aquatic plants, it needs a good amount of light and nutrient-rich substrate. It will also benefit from regular fertilization and pruning to promote bushier growth.
