Gently rinse the culture gel under lukewarm water. Plant the stems in the midground. Good fertilization is essential for the most beautiful pink-orange coloration. Prune regularly — trimmed tops can be replanted for a fuller result. Liquid nutrients like Sera Florena support healthy growth.
💡 Planter's Tip
The compact growth and pink-orange color make Ludwigia Ovalis ideal as a color accent among larger stem plants. It combines beautifully with dark green species such as Cryptocoryne or Anubias for maximum contrast.
