Ludwigia ovalis

Ludwigia ovalis is a colourful stem plant prized for its rounded leaves and striking colour transformation. Under moderate to high lighting, the foliage can develop beautiful shades of orange, bronze, copper, pink, and red, creating a vibrant contrast against traditional green aquarium plants.

Its compact leaf shape and upright growth make it an excellent choice for midground and background placement. When grown in groups and trimmed regularly, Ludwigia ovalis forms dense bushes that add texture, depth, and colour to planted aquariums.
