Ludwigia Ovalis

Ludwigia Ovalis: Oval leaves with green, red and purple tones for freshwater planted aquarium backgrounds.

Experience a beautiful addition to your aquarium with Ludwigia Ovalis. This aquatic plant offers lush colors of red, purple and green, adding vibrancy and enhancing visual appeal. Its oval-shaped foliage, when accompanied with higher lighting, makes a stunning display. Place Ludwigia Ovalis in your tank and watch as it grows and thrives.

Its natural growth form makes it ideal for use as a foreground or midground accent in the aquarium. Its easy care and low light requirements make it an accessible option for both seasoned and beginner hobbyists. It can grow pretty tall so we recommend planting it in the background of the aquarium. It propagates easily like any other stem plant by replanting its trimmings back into the substrate.

Before adding to your aquarium

Remove the shipping packaging and any pot, planting wool, or weights as appropriate. Rinse and inspect the plant, and quarantine new plants separately before introduction. Choose planting depth and substrate for the species. Keep rooted crowns and bulbs from being buried too deeply, and remove damaged leaves during establishment.

Match temperature and lighting to the plant and your livestock. This listing is part of our general freshwater plant range; browse our axolotl plant selection for more focused options.
