This is a long-shot!
Has anyone else experienced crinkly leaves with Ludwigia glandulosa? The crinkled leaves are more prominent with the new growth. They're a deep red colour, but leaves are deformed, and unsightly.
I've also experienced it with Nesaea pedicellata and Alternanthera sp. before now.
They are all potentially red leaf stem plants.
I don't have any issues with any other species, including supposedly more demanding species.
I'm dosing 15ml TPN+ per day in a 160 litre with 4 x 24w T5, 30ppm CO2 and nutrient-rich substrate. Every other plant (13 other species) including very fast growers, are showing no signs of deficiency. I have no algae. Except for the crinkled Ludwigia leaves, everything is growing wonderfully.
I suspect it's nutrient related - perhaps a ratio of some sort. My water is hard - GH 14 or so. No idea of actual nutrient levels, but I'm sure I'm providing enough through the TPN+, substrate and CO2.
It's rather frustrating!
