Ludwigia ovalis sp. Pink

Ludwigia Ovalis 'Pink' is a stunning stem plant prized for its soft pink, peach, orange, and red hues that bring vibrant color and elegance to any planted aquarium. Its rounded, oval-shaped leaves and upright growth make it an excellent choice for creating eye-catching contrast in the midground or background.

Under medium to high lighting, nutrient-rich water, and CO₂ supplementation, Ludwigia Ovalis 'Pink' develops its most intense pink coloration and compact growth. As the plant matures, the upper leaves can display beautiful shades of blush pink and orange, making it a favorite among aquascapers looking to add unique color without the deep reds of other Ludwigia species.

Regular trimming encourages branching, allowing it to grow into dense, colorful bushes that enhance Dutch-style and nature aquascapes alike.
