These are the REAL THING and as far as I know I am the only one offering accurately described Ludwigia Super Red seeds for sale. ("aquarium plant" seeds that come out of Asia are almost always not accurately described and often not even an aquatic species) These seeds were grown and harvested 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 Super Red from seed is challenging because Ludwigia seeds are very small... smaller in size than petunia seeds if you are familiar with those. They also benefit from a 4 week long cold/moist period in the refrigerator (known as stratification) although this is not necessary to get some germination. This is explained in detail in the included instructions. If you can grow petunia 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 photographs of the adult plants are for illustration only and show what the adult plants will look like in an aquarium. You will receive 50 genuine Ludwigia Super Red seeds and detailed growing instructions with each order.
