⚠️ Level: Medium — Ludwigia Arcuata requires normal light and CO₂ for the most beautiful narrow-leaved growth.
Ludwigia Arcuata, also known as the narrow-leaved Ludwigia, is one of the more attractive Ludwigia species. The plant has ribbon-shaped, narrow leaves of ±3 cm that can take on a different shape submersed than emersed. Ludwigia species are easy plants that thrive in marshy conditions — therefore also suitable for a paludarium. A reliable colour accent for the midground or background.

✂️ Care
Plant the stems in groups in the midground or background. Because the plant is grown emersed, the leaf shape can change submersed — this is normal. Prune regularly — you can replant trimmed tops for a fuller result. Liquid fertilization such as Sera Florena supports healthy growth.
💡 Planter's tip
The narrow, ribbon-shaped leaves provide a unique, delicate effect in the midground or background. Combines beautifully with broad-leaved species such as Cryptocoryne or Echinodorus for maximum contrast.
