Pisces Ludwigia – 5cm Pot
Add vibrant colour and texture to your aquascape with Pisces Ludwigia, supplied in a convenient 5cm pot. Known for its attractive green to reddish foliage, Ludwigia is a versatile stem plant that creates a beautiful contrast in freshwater planted aquariums. Under moderate to high lighting and with adequate nutrients, the leaves develop richer red and bronze tones, making it a popular choice for aquascapers.
This fast-growing aquatic plant is suitable for the midground or background of planted tanks and can be easily trimmed and replanted to create fuller, denser growth. Ludwigia also helps improve water quality by absorbing excess nutrients, contributing to a healthier aquarium environment.
