Ludwigia Brevipes (Emersed)
Ludwigia Brevipes is a beautiful and versatile stem plant known for its slender foliage and vibrant green to orange-red colouration under stronger lighting. Its soft flowing appearance and dense growth make it an excellent background or feature plant for planted aquariums, Dutch-style aquascapes, and high-tech planted tanks.
As a fast-growing stem plant, Ludwigia Brevipes adds texture, movement, and natural contrast to aquascapes while developing richer colouration in nutrient-rich aquarium conditions. 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.
