LUDWIGIA INCLINATA 'CUBA' – Ornamental Stem Plant with Golden, Orange and Red Leaves for High-Tech Aquariums
Ludwigia inclinata ‘Cuba’ is an extraordinary stem plant discovered in Cuba by Tropica founder Holger Windeløv. It stands out as one of the most visually stunning aquatic plants, making it a centerpiece in high-tech aquascapes. With its narrow, pointed leaves that display vibrant shades of gold, orange and deep red, this species adds exotic flair and vertical movement to the aquarium.
To thrive, Ludwigia inclinata ‘Cuba’ requires high-intensity lighting, strong water circulation, abundant fertilization and consistent CO₂ supplementation. It grows upright and expansively, often developing a cascading growth pattern. Regular trimming is necessary to maintain its shape, but because it does not always produce lateral shoots after pruning, it's recommended to replant the healthy top cuttings. Remove the lower leaves and insert the trimmed shoot into the substrate, where it will quickly root.
