Ludwigia ‘Dark Orange’ Tissue Culture
Ludwigia ‘Dark Orange’ is a stunning, colorful stem plant prized for its deep orange to red hues and graceful, upright growth habit. Cultivated through sterile tissue culture, this plant is 100% pest-free, algae-free, and snail-free, making it an excellent choice for shrimp tanks and high-end aquascapes.
Native Habitat and Growth
Ludwigia species are native to North and South America, thriving in shallow waters and along the edges of slow-moving streams. In aquariums, the ‘Dark Orange’ variety develops intense orange, amber, and red tones under high light and CO₂ supplementation, creating a warm, eye-catching accent for planted aquariums.
How to Grow Ludwigia ‘Dark Orange’ Tissue Culture
Lighting: Medium to high light enhances coloration and leaf density.
CO₂ & Fertilization: Strongly recommended for vibrant color and compact growth; responds well to iron-rich fertilizers.
Placement: Best for midground to background areas; plant stems in groups for a bushy effect.
Water Parameters: Grows well in 68–82°F (20–28°C), pH 6.0–7.5, soft to moderately hard water.
Maintenance: Trim regularly and replant cuttings to maintain shape and encourage new growth.
Why Choose Tissue Culture
Pest-free, algae-free, and snail-free, perfect for sensitive aquariums.
Grown in a sterile laboratory environment for optimal health.
Ready to plant—just rinse off the gel and place directly in substrate.
Ideal for shrimp tanks, nano tanks, and contest aquascapes.
Benefits of Ludwigia ‘Dark Orange’
Adds a rich, orange-red contrast to green aquascapes.
Fast-growing and easy to propagate from cuttings.
Suitable for intermediate to advanced aquascapers.
Brings color depth and texture to planted aquariums.
