Ludwigia Inclinata Tornado, also known as Curly or Twister, is a very unique stem plant that grows spiraling leaves, similar to Vesuvius.

Aquarzon observes this as being the only stem plant of its kind with leaves that unique spirals as twisty like this. There are other spiralling leaves aquarium plants like Corkscrew Val but it does not have as twisty leaves like this. Ludwigia Tornado is excellent as a highlight / feature stem plant in an aquascape.

It has green colouration which can turn reddish on the leaves at the top of its stems when grown under higher intensity lighting.

In our experience, this plant can be quite demanding. We believe in helping customers make the right, informed decisions so we would like to make it clear this stem plant is very unsuitable for low tech tanks. Higher lighting intensity is recommended for this plant. CO2 addition is recommended as well. If CO2 addition is not used, then high lighting intensity is crucial. 

Aquarzon also recommends hobbyists keeping them to refrain from using any algaecides or Glutheraldehyde (such as Seachem Excel, liquid carbon and BBA removers) when keeping this plant as those can cause it to melt. 

It is best used in an aquascape that needs a very unique leaf pattern midground or background plant to give a unique touch.

This plant grown by Aquarzon is 100% aquarium submersed grown indoor and is very clean, free from weeds and outdoor pests. It is not tissue culture or emersed grown stock which can suffer transitional melting issues when planted in an aquarium. Our indoor submersed grown stock is in very healthy condition and ready to be planted straight in an aquarium.
