Ludwigia arcuata x repens, also known as Narrow Ludwigia, is a fast growing and very easy-to-grow aquarium plant that can add colour to any aquarium. It is a hybrid between Ludwigia arcuata and Ludwigia repens, two well-known species in the hobby. With its long and slightly curved leaves, it creates an attractive contrast to other plants in the aquarium.

One of the great advantages of this plant is its adaptability to different lighting conditions. Under low light, the leaves will mostly grow green, but under high light, they will turn bright red throughout the entire plant. In medium light, this plant grows with a crown of copper-coloured leaves. This allows for a lot of flexibility in designing an aquascape, and the plant's bright colours can make it a striking focal point. The leaves are larger and narrower than those of the standard Ludwigia repens, which gives the plant a distinct look.

Narrow Ludwigia is a fast-growing plant and will quickly develop dense foliage, making it a great option for filling in gaps in an aquascape. It is also relatively undemanding and can thrive in a wide range of water parameters, making it an ideal plant for beginners or those looking for a low-maintenance option.

To further encourage growth, provide the plant with regular fertilisation. Trimming can also help to promote denser growth and maintain the plant's shape. With proper care, Ludwigia arcuata x repens can be a beautiful addition to your aquarium.
