Cabomba, water wisteria, and ludwigia repens got here! So excited! I planted them, and here's a pic!
I love cabomba.
Me too! I've had it for... 8 hours, and it's already my favorite plant. It would be the ludwigia, but it was a PITA to plant!
If seperate the cabomba and wisteria. So they can grow into nice bushes
You need to plant each Cabomba stem individually so the leaves of one stem are almost but not quite touching the leaves of the stems around it. If you leave them in a clump most likely the bases will rot and leaves will fall off because not enough light and water movement can get to the lower stems.
Then move the wisteria over closer to the Repens because you want plant groups with different leaf shapes and colors planted next to each other. Right now the green wisteria just blends into the cabomba. If you move it on the other side it is different enough from the Repens for each plant grouping to stand out and not blend together.
Okay, thanks Rivercats. I'll change the cabomba, but there is white sand between the cabomba and the ludwigia so I don't want to plant anything on it. However, there will be some hygrophila sp bold coming in soon, and that will go in the corner next to the wisteria, to provide some contrast. Also, I plan on eventually having some alternanthera reineckii in front of the cabomba for more contrast. Does that make sense?
You'll have to post pic's once it's all in. Just remember you want each grouping to stand out with different shaped leaves and color from the groupings around it.
Video worked for me. Lookin' good!
I just have to state that I love my water wisteria! It has grown so fast and has sprawled along the substrate. It is my favorite plant right now.
