Hey guys, I just recently set up my planted aquairum (28 g bowfront). I have a 55 w light strip with a reflector from ahsupply. Flourite black sand as substrate and dry ferts with flourish excel. Okay so I just added the ludwigia like a week or two ago and it has been doing horribly. The plant has all these brown leaves that droop and look as if they are going to fall off. I leave the aquarium light on for about 8-10 hrs a day. But just in general, the plant looks really really bad. I recieved it in great condition but I'm afraid I'm doing something wrong. Can anyone suggest anything? I dose the dry ferts daily (following the fert index method) And thats pretty much it for now. The only other plants I have in there are 6 baby stems of hygro corymbosa "stricta". Thanks for your help!
What is wrong with my Ludwigia Repens?

Excel may not be enough of a carbon source, DIY Co2 might be a good option.
But I agree with the above, plants sometimes need time to adjust.

Pm the person you got the plant from and ask under what conditions he kept his plants (lighting in particular)
also remember some plants melt when put in another tank, this could bewhats happening. it may take time to bounce back
My ludwigia repens never did well. It arrived in great condition but worsened over the span of a couple months. Eventually the stems started to rot and break off any time a fish would swim by. I finally got fed up and trashed it last week.
I don't think I had the WPG (1.8) to foster healthy growth.
