Aquarium Stem Plant Ludwigia Arcuata for Planted Tanks, Nature-Style Aquascapes and Dutch-Style Layouts

Ludwigia Arcuata brings fine texture, movement and dimension to a planted aquarium through delicate green and red leaves arranged along slender stems.

Also known as Needle Leaf Ludwigia, this easy-care plant suits background placement in nature-style aquascapes, Dutch-style aquariums and terrarium-like setups.

Key Features

• Thin, pointed leaves grow along the entire stem, giving planted layouts a delicate shape and a sense of movement.
• Green and red coloration responds to water properties, while CO2 injection, moderate lighting and liquid plant fertilizer can improve its color.
• Its easy care makes this stem plant approachable for aquarists building a layered planted-tank display.
• Moderate growth supports steady background development, though the stems may grow very quickly when conditions are optimal.
• Propagation only requires trimming and replanting the stems into quality aquasoil, making it straightforward to expand the planting.
• Bunch and tissue-culture choices let aquarists select the available growing format that fits their setup.
