Ludwigia arcuata

[Dr. Geoff]

Hello,

Anyone have experience with this plant? From what I gather it's a pretty mainstay aquarium plant.

So my plant seems to be doing pretty well, although its growing slowly, it has started to turn red and it looks good. I was just wondering what height it might reach, I have an 18 in aquarium and would like it to reach the top of the water if it can. Anyone know if this will keep growing up? I attached pictures.

As you can see, it's behind my giant driftwood, my hope is that it will grow above it. The drift wood is about 12 inches tall. The plant is only about 5in or so, was 3 when I got it.

Ludwigia just keeps growing. You can trim it when it hits the top. I have L repens I think or repens x arcuata Mine grows like a weed
