Ludwigia Arcuata (Emersed)

Ludwigia Arcuata (Emersed)

Ludwigia Arcuata is a beautiful fine-leaf stem plant known for its slender foliage and vibrant green to orange-red colouration under stronger lighting. Its delicate appearance and flowing growth make it an excellent background or feature plant for planted aquariums, Dutch-style aquascapes, and high-tech planted tanks.

As a versatile stem plant, Ludwigia Arcuata develops its best colour and compact growth in nutrient-rich aquariums with moderate to high lighting. This emersed-grown specimen develops strong root systems and transitions well into aquarium conditions with proper care.

At N8 Aquatics, our plants are carefully quarantined before sale to help ensure they arrive healthy, clean, and pest-free.
