Important data
Product description & details
Ludwigia ovalis is an Asian relative of Ludwigia repens, which comes from North America. The colorful stem plant has large, oval-round leaves whose colors can range from green to orange-red and light red. The oval-leaved Ludwigia grows quickly and shows a rather loose, upright to slightly sloping habit. It is ideal for the middle ground and forms a beautiful contrast to green and narrow-leaved plants. In terms of care, it is classified as medium difficult because it requires at least moderate lighting and a good supply of nutrients in order to thrive. Although an additional supply of CO2 is not absolutely necessary, it greatly promotes the growth of Ludwigia ovalis. A compact, bushy growth can be promoted by regular pruning.
