Ludwigia Inclinata White
Ludwigia Inclinata White
Ludwigia Inclinata White is a striking and unusual Ludwigia inclinata form producing whorled leaves with silvery-white to pale yellow coloring on the upper surfaces — a near-unique pale color in the stem plant world where virtually every inclinata form is warm-toned and red. The ghostly pale white of the leaf upper surfaces against the darker undersides and stems creates an extraordinary effect that immediately stands out in any background composition as genuinely different from anything else available.
Care tip: Ludwigia Inclinata White grows best in high lighting with CO₂ required. Maintain temperatures of 72–82°F and pH 6.0–7.2. Regular liquid fertilization supports healthy growth and best coloration.
Growing to 8 to 16 inches, Inclinata White is a background plant that requires consistent high-tech management to maintain the unusual pale coloration that makes it so desirable. The pale white tones are most vivid in actively growing new nodes under strong, stable lighting — any reduction in light intensity causes the distinctive whiteness to fade toward a more typical pale green.
As an advanced plant, Inclinata White requires CO₂ injection and strong lighting — essential for the unusual pale coloration that defines this variety. Temperatures between 72 and 82°F and a pH of 6.0 to 7.2 provide comfortable conditions. Meticulous fertilization and consistent water parameters support the maintenance of the remarkable pale coloration across the whorled leaves.
In the aquascape, Ludwigia Inclinata White creates a luminous, pale background display whose silvery-white whorled leaves contrast dramatically with any warm-toned plant in the composition. Against red and orange Ludwigia inclinata forms it creates an extraordinary pale-warm color contrast that no other plant combination can replicate. It is a showpiece plant for collectors who want the most visually distinctive stem plants available.
Ludwigia Inclinata White is a rare and visually extraordinary plant for dedicated high-tech aquarists. Its silvery-white whorled leaves represent one of the most unusual color effects available from any commonly cultivated stem plant in the freshwater hobby.
