Ecoscape Medium Ludwigia Green

Description

Ecoscape Medium Ludwigia Green — Mid-height artificial Ludwigia with rounded green leaves

Live Ludwigia is one of the easier stem plants, but it still needs regular trimming and replanting to keep a mid-ground group at an even height. Ecoscape Medium Ludwigia Green (SKU: 28275) is the Medium size of Aqua One’s Ecoscape Ludwigia, a plastic artificial plant styled on Ludwigia, the stem plant known for its paired, rounded leaves along upright stems. Petstock gives the Medium Ecoscape Ludwigia a height of 20 cm (8 in). A weighted base holds it upright in gravel or sand, so it can be placed, moved and lifted out without disturbing the substrate.

At 20 cm the Medium fills the middle band of a 45 to 60 cm tank, or makes a background plant for a desktop tank of 30 cm or so. It is part of a three-size line in the store: the Small (SKU 28250, about 10 cm) sits in front and the Xlarge (SKU 28291, about 40 cm) behind, so one leaf style can be graded from front glass to back. Aqua One describes Ecoscape plants as non-toxic, aquarium-safe plastic that needs no special lighting, pruning or supplements, is easy to rearrange, and is safe with destructive fish such as cichlids. The leaves never decay, so there is no plant waste in the water and no risk of introducing snails with a new plant. The range is listed for coldwater, tropical and marine aquariums. Petstock carries the maker’s instruction to wash and rinse thoroughly in tap water before introducing it, and its warning that it is not a child’s toy.
