Ludwigia repens

Ludwigia repens is a colorful stem plant prized for its broad foliage that develops warm bronze to red tones under good light. It works especially well in the midground to background, where thoughtful spacing and routine maintenance help it develop its best shape and color.

For best results, provide a nutrient-rich substrate or consistent water-column fertilization and keep conditions stable. Acclimate the plant gradually, remove damaged growth, and maintain consistent water quality while new roots and shoots establish.
