Ludwigia Palustris is a beautiful aquatic stem plant to keep. Ludwigia are a great option for hobbyists who want to add color to their aquascape with ease. These plants are ideal for the background areas of the aquarium given their height and ability to fill large vertical spaces. Their vivid color creates a superb focal point, making them suitable for Dutch-style scapes. Ludwigia plants typically have oval-shaped leaves that grow in alternating pairs along the central stem. Colors include gold, orange, or red, depending on tank conditions.

Ludwigia is a versatile plant, but to achieve the most desirable colors, high lighting, CO2 injection and necessary nutrients should be provided. If successful, Ludwigia species are prolific growers and will require normal pruning to create dense bushes!
