Ludwigia arcuata | Fine-leaved red stem plant InVitro

Ludwigia arcuata is a particularly fine-leaved, elegant stem plant that impresses with its needle-shaped leaves and its orange to red coloration. It brings lightness and dynamism to the aquarium and is ideal for the middle to background of modern aquascapes.

Under strong lighting and stable CO₂ supply, Ludwigia arcuata develops intense red and orange tones, while it remains a fresh green at lower light levels.
This plant is supplied InVitro in a sterile cup and is therefore 100% free of snails, algae, and pesticides – perfect for shrimp, nano, and aquascaping tanks. After rinsing off the nutrient gel, it can be divided into many small shoots and planted.
