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.
