Ludwigia Repens

A classic stem plant that transforms with color underwater

Ludwigia Repens is a well-loved aquarium plant, admired for its adaptability and the vibrant transformation it undergoes when transitioned from emersed to submerged growth. At Aquarium Plants Factory’s nursery, we cultivate this variety in its emersed form, where the leaves retain a healthy green color and the stems grow slightly thicker—ensuring robust, transplant-ready specimens.

Once planted in a nutrient-rich aquarium with moderate to high lighting, Ludwigia Repens begins its remarkable color change, developing hues that range from warm orange to deep red. This natural color shift adds a vivid splash of contrast and brings life to midground or background areas in your aquascape.
