Ludwigia arcuata (Bunched)

Ludwigia arcuata is a captivating aquatic plant known for its slender stems and vibrant red or orange foliage. It typically grows as a stem plant, featuring narrow, lanceolate leaves that vary in color from green to intense red, depending on lighting and nutrient levels. Under optimal conditions, it forms dense clusters of foliage, creating a striking visual effect in aquariums. Ludwigia arcuata requires moderate to high lighting and benefits from CO2 supplementation for robust growth. Regular pruning encourages bushy growth and helps maintain its shape, making it a popular choice for aquascaping projects.
