Ludwigia Ovalis (Emersed)

Ludwigia Ovalis (Emersed)

Ludwigia Ovalis is a beautiful and colourful stem plant known for its rounded leaves and vibrant green to orange-red colouration under stronger lighting. Its soft flowing appearance and warm tones make it an excellent feature or background plant for planted aquariums, Dutch-style aquascapes, and natural planted tanks.

As a hardy and adaptable stem plant, Ludwigia Ovalis grows well in a wide range of aquarium conditions while developing richer colours in nutrient-rich setups with stronger 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.
