• Origin: A cultivar or mutant of Ludwigia inclinata var. verticillata ‘Cuba’.
• Growth: Can develop green, faster-growing shoots that revert to the parent ‘Cuba’ form, requiring pruning. 

• Lighting: High intensity is crucial for white/pink color; medium light results in lighter crowns.
• CO2: Essential for vibrant coloration and healthy growth.
• Substrate: Nutrient-rich, soil-based substrate is recommended.
• Nutrients: Requires balanced liquid fertilizers (like EI dosing) for best results.
• Water: Stable parameters, soft to slightly acidic water (pH 6.0-7.5). 

• Placement: Ideal for midground or background placement.
• Style: Creates focal points in Nature or Dutch-style aquariums. 

• Difficulty: Considered demanding and better suited for experienced aquarists due to its specific needs.
• Maintenance: Regular trimming prevents it from getting overshadowed and encourages bushier growth.
• Reversion: Monitor for green shoots and prune immediately to maintain the white coloration.
