Ludwigia Dark Orange - Tissue Culture

Ludwigia 'Dark Orange' is a striking and highly sought-after cultivar celebrated for its exceptionally vivid, saturated orange to burnt-orange colouration that deepens dramatically under high light and CO2. Supplied here as a pest- and disease-free tissue culture, it offers a clean, healthy start for your high-tech aquascape. Its broad, oval leaves emerge in rich amber tones and intensify to a stunning dark orange, creating a bold, warm focal point in the background of any planted tank. 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.
