LUDWIGIA BREVIPES – Yellow-Orange Stem Plant for the Aquarium Background
Ludwigia brevipes is an ornamental stem plant native to North America, grown in vitro and appreciated for its warm yellow-orange coloration and elegant structure. Often mistaken for Ludwigia arcuata, it differs slightly with broader leaves, slower growth and a distinct lack of red tones. Ideal for the rear section of the aquarium, Ludwigia brevipes is especially effective as a background plant in larger tanks, forming dense vertical groupings that enhance the layout’s depth and contrast.
It thrives in high-light setups with a strong supply of CO₂, which enhances its form and bright coloration. In proper conditions, it produces a compact group of vertical stems that create a vibrant, uniform appearance. Delivered in sterile in-vitro culture, it is completely free of pests, snails and algae, and adapts quickly to the aquarium thanks to its high-quality gel substrate.
