Add delicate texture and vibrant colour to your planted aquarium with Ludwigia arcuata, a beautiful stem plant known for its narrow, needle-like leaves and attractive green, orange and red tones.
Ludwigia arcuata is a versatile choice for the midground or background of planted aquariums. Its fine foliage creates a softer appearance than broad-leaved Ludwigia varieties and works beautifully as a contrast plant alongside rocks, driftwood and other aquatic plants.
