Description
This Ludwigia is a hybrid between the North American species L. repens and L. arcuata. It is long known and has proven as an undemanding, colourful stem plant. Its lanceolate leaves become blood-red under good light. The stems are densely set with leaves; the internodes are short.
Submersed leaf form of Ludwigia x arcuata
Ludwigia repens x arcuata is well adaptable to different water chemistry and has a high growth rate. Nutrient-rich bottom and medium to strong lighting are very beneficial for its growth. It tolerates quite cool water, however its temperature optimum lies between 24 and 28 °C.
As a group in the midground to background, this Ludwigia provides a colourful eyecatcher. Due to its low demands, it is also recommendable for beginners and for the primary planting of new tanks, respectively.
This plant is a natural hybrid of Ludwigia repens and L. arcuata and is frequently found in Florida. Its lanceolate leaves remind of Ludwigia brevipes.

Very very nice, very good quality, Package excellent with polystyrene box. Excellent recovery of feet planted in the aquarium, very satisfied.
Nice coloring of the leaves in orange-red tones, lush growth, spontaneous branching. In the lower parts, the leaves are rather green, but the stems remain leafy - a dense habit. (read more)
