Ludwigia sedioides (mosaic plant)

Has anyone ever tried keeping this in their aquariums before? The mosaic - like patterns that the leaves for look really cool. I've read that they are more of a pond plant, and require high light, while other people say that it's a low light plant... So confusing.

Hoping to hear from anyone here the has had any experience with this stuff.

Here's a link from Aquariumplants.

Have you tried it with your new LED reactor light?

just under T5ho 10ks

All I know about this plant is it is supposed to float, flowers above water, and needs high and long lighting.
