Due to it's beautiful red-green leaves and ease of care, the
Broadleaf Ludwigia is a great addition to your aquarium.
The Broadleaf Ludwigia is a great plant for midground to background
decoration, as it can reach a height of 20 inches (50 cm). It adapts to
most aquarium environments readily, especially if provided with bright
lighting. The leaves grow fairly broad at a moderate rate, with
reddish-green coloring throughout. They tend to clump together and will
tend to try to grow towards the surface of the water. If you cut it back
regularly, plenty of side shoots with grow, which is an easy way to
propagate this plant.
