Ludwigia inclinata is a difficult plant that requires soft, slightly acidic water with added CO2 to thrive optimally. In good light the leaves turn a beautiful shade of yellow/orange. In many coloured plants the leaves are only coloured underneath, but the leaves of L. inclinata are also coloured on top. If there is insufficient light the leaves turn greener, and the lower leaves fall off. This plant also thrives in terrariums with a high air humidity.
