Here are some tips for growing Ludwigia arcuata:
Lighting: Strong lighting is needed to induce better coloration and more branching.
- Nutrients: A good nutrient-rich substrate and regular fertilization are recommended.
- Water: Soft to medium-hard water and a slightly acidic pH is preferred.
- Pruning: Trimming encourages side shoots to form and the plant can become very bushy.
- Nitrate limitation: The plant grows much redder if it is starved for nitrates.
- Stability: It can melt easily when water parameters are not stable.
