Ludwigia Ovalis

Ludwigia Ovalis Aquarium Plant

Ludwigia Ovalis, also known as Oval Ludwigia, belongs to the Onagraceae family and is native to Southeast Asia. This stunning aquatic plant is admired for its oval-shaped leaves that shift from lush green to warm reddish-orange under the right conditions. Oval Ludwigia reaches a height of 8–20 inches, making it ideal for midground to background placement in aquariums. When grown emersed, the leaves appear greener and rounder, while in submersed conditions, they take on brighter red tones and a more elongated shape, offering great versatility for aquascaping. For best results, plant Ludwigia Ovalis stems individually with a little spacing between them to allow proper light penetration and promote fuller, bushier growth.

Benefits

• Enhances the natural beauty of your tank with rich green and red tones.
• Provides shelter and comfort for small fish and shrimp.
• Helps improve water quality by absorbing excess nutrients.
• Easy to grow, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced aquarists.
