seedbox

Seedbox (Ludwigia alternifolia) plants thrive when given a little bit of water each day. It is best to water the plant once a day, in the morning before the sun is too hot, using lukewarm water. As a general rule, water the seedbox until the top inch of soil is moist. Be careful to not overwater the plant, as too much water can cause root rot. The plant should not be kept too wet, so be sure to empty out any remaining water from the drainage tray after each watering.

Sunlight requirements for seedbox (Ludwigia alternifolia) plants vary depending on their location. They will thrive in full sun to part shade. Seedbox should receive at least 5 to 6 hours of direct sunlight per day in order to thrive; this can be supplemented by indirect sunlight that filters through leafy canopies as well. In partial shade, the growth rate of the seedbox will be slower than in full sun. Additionally, the foliage may not be as colorful or lush in partial shade as it would be in full sunlight. Lastly, the flowers produced by seedboxes in partial shade may be fewer in number and smaller in size than those grown in full sun.

Pruning of seedbox (Ludwigia alternifolia) is best done seasonally, usually late in the summer after flowering. Pruning should be done just enough to keep the plant's size under control and to keep the foliage looking fresh and tidy. This should include cutting back stems to remove any dead, dying, or diseased material, and trimming back any overgrown branches. Pruning should be done cautiously and with precision as it can be easy to remove too much, causing stunted growth and a weakened plant.
