Ludwigia Atlantis Dark Orange

Ludwigia 'Atlantis' Dark Orange is a rare and breathtaking cultivar prized by aquascapers for its exceptionally vivid, saturated orange to burnt-orange colouration that few stem plants can match. Its broad, oval leaves emerge in rich amber tones and deepen to a stunning dark orange under high light and CO2, creating a bold, warm focal point in the background of any high-tech planted aquascape. A true collector's plant that rewards optimal conditions with some of the most intense colour in the freshwater hobby.

Propagation: Take stem cuttings of 5–10cm, remove lower leaves, and replant into the substrate. Regular trimming encourages dense, bushy growth and intensifies colouration.
