Plants are pest free! Some plants we sell are grown emersed which means out of water when they are stuck in aquariums, they may experience some melting (Leaves Dying) this does not mean they are dead as typically the plants will bounce back.
1 Lead Bunch is around 4-7 stems
Ludwigia Ovalis is a beautiful and colorful freshwater aquarium plant known for its attractive oval-shaped leaves and vibrant green, orange, pink, and reddish coloration. This eye-catching stem plant is an excellent choice for adding color, texture, and contrast to planted aquariums, aquascapes, community tanks, and Dutch-style aquariums.
Ludwigia Ovalis is a popular choice among aquascapers because of its relatively compact growth and attractive foliage. Under suitable lighting and nutrient conditions, the leaves can develop beautiful warm tones ranging from orange and pink to red, creating a striking contrast against green aquarium plants.
Colorful Foliage for Planted Aquariums
Ludwigia Ovalis works well as a midground or background aquarium plant, depending on aquarium size and how frequently it is trimmed. Planting several stems together can create a dense group of colorful foliage, while individual stems can be strategically placed throughout an aquascape to create focal points and visual depth.
For the best growth and coloration, provide moderate to high lighting and adequate nutrients. CO₂ supplementation is beneficial and can encourage faster growth, stronger stems, and more intense coloration, although the plant can be maintained without CO₂.
Ludwigia Ovalis is a stem plant that can be easily propagated through cuttings. Simply trim healthy stems and replant the cuttings into the aquarium substrate. Over time, the cuttings can develop roots and grow into additional plants.
