What is Ludwigia Inclinata Aquarium Plant?

Ludwigia Inclinata is native to South
America — found naturally in tropical
rivers and shallow water bodies of
Brazil and surrounding countries. Its
distinctive star-shaped leaf whorls
are a natural adaptation to the strong
tropical sunlight of its native habitat
where it grows in clear shallow water
with intense natural lighting throughout
the growing season.

In the aquarium this ludwigia inclinata
aquarium plant grows as an upright to
slightly spreading stem plant reaching
20 to 40 centimetres in height. Its
unique star-shaped leaf arrangement
and spectacular green-red colouration
make it one of the most visually dramatic
background plants available for serious
planted tank aquascape displays.
