About this Plant

Ludwigia ovalis is a fairly new Ludwigia to the hobby. Unlike most of those popular with aquarists it has alternate leaves rather than opposite leaves. The a lovely orangey-red color is unusual in the aquarium too, making it a very nice contrast to other available red plants. While it appreciates good care, it is not as fussy as some red plants, and can be kept without supplemental CO2 by a careful aquarist.
