Can you propogate ludwigia!?

Can you its such a good plant i domt want to kill it!!

Very much so. I cut three inch long parts off the plant and stick um in the sand. The original plant I take cuttings from usually ends up with new shoots growing from more than one spot. I have found it very difficult to kill my ludwigia repens. Other ludwigias might be a bit more finicky.

Thank you so much!! I just snipped 3 inches from top becuase it was growing out of the water!! But thanks!

Your very welcome. You'll get an idea of what it can take once it grows out more for you. If i may suggest, cut low enough that new growth has a chance to grow underwater.

Hahaha followed your advice thanks again and cut it below the water line

Howdy!

If ya cut it right at a joint where the leaves are, right above the leaves, multiple branches will form. This gives the plant a bushier look.
