Creeping Primrose-Willow (Ludwigia repens), bunch

Ludwigia repens is planted aquarium staple that will add a burst of red and green to your background!

Creeping Primrose-Willow (Ludwigia repens) is arobust stem plant that boasts oval shaped green leaves with red typically showing on the under side of the leaf.  Like most Ludwigia species the emersed growth leaves will be more rounded and green in coloration. 

This hardy, fast-growing plant can flourish and highlight the middle or background of the aquascape. It can live with only moderate lighting, but it has the potential for brighter red coloration with higher lighting and proper supplementation, particularly iron.

Like most plants, Cuban Ludwigia will benefit from supplementation such as Seachem Flourish, Flourish Excel, Flourish Nitrogen, Flourish Iron, and other plant supplements.
