Ludwigia sphaerocarpa "Pilosa" (spherical fruit Ludwigia) is a rarely available Ludwigia species, which has a horizontal growth habit and green to orange-red leaf colouring. It originates from North America and needs good lighting and nutrient supply in the aquarium. With sufficiently strong lighting, this Ludwigia grows compactly and can be used in the middle ground and, with regular pruning, works also well in the foreground.
