Bring stunning color and natural depth to your aquarium with Ludwigia Peruensis (also known as Ludwigia glandulosa), a versatile amphibious stem plant that thrives fully or partially submerged. Its spade-shaped leaves display a striking mix of dark green and reddish-brown tones, with the upper side in olive green and the underside ranging from deep red to brownish-red, adding an eye-catching accent to any aquascape.
Ideal for midground placement in large tanks or as a bold background plant in smaller aquariums, Ludwigia Peruensis truly shines under high light. Full-spectrum lighting (5000–7000K, 3–5 watts per gallon) promotes vibrant coloration, while insufficient light may dull its hues.
