Care Tips: Ludwigia arcuata is a popular stem plant in aquariums due to its unique appearance and fast growth rate. It requires medium to high lighting to maintain its attractive shape and vibrant green color, with hints of reddish hues in the right conditions. CO₂ supplementation is recommended for optimal growth. The plant thrives in slightly acidic to neutral water with regular nutrient replenishment. Pruning is important to prevent the plant from becoming leggy and to encourage bushy growth. Ludwigia arcuata can adapt to a variety of water conditions but prefers stable, clean environments with regular water changes.
