Description
Ludwigia brevipes is a slender, fast-growing stem plant with narrow leaves that shift from green to warm copper-orange as light increases. More compact and creeping than many of its cousins, Ludwigia brevipes can be used in the mid-ground as well as the background, where it forms a soft, colourful carpet-like hedge.
Caring for Ludwigia brevipes is easy by Ludwigia standards. Moderate to high light brings out its colour, CO₂ is helpful but not essential, and a nutrient-rich substrate with iron dosing keeps the tones vivid. Trim and replant the tops often — Ludwigia brevipes branches readily, and the cuttings root quickly for fuss-free propagation.
Thanks to its adaptability, Ludwigia brevipes suits beginners wanting their first red-orange plant and aquascapers after a flexible mid-ground accent. It is safe in community, shrimp and betta tanks and pearls attractively under good light, making Ludwigia brevipes a dependable splash of warm colour.
