Common Names: Needle Leaf Ludwigia, Narrow Leaf Ludwigia

Ludwigia arcuata, or Needle Leaf Ludwigia, is a stunning addition to any aquarium, prized for its slender, needle-like leaves and vibrant colors. This delicate aquatic plant transforms underwater landscapes with its fine, narrow foliage that varies in color from bright green to rich orange-red, depending on lighting and nutrient levels. As it matures, Ludwigia arcuata creates a beautiful contrast against broader-leaved plants, adding texture and visual depth to the aquascape.
