Is this Ludwigia repens x arcuata?

Will Wu · Jan 22, 2020

I bought this at a LFS without any labelling. Any idea what plant it is? (referring to the red stem plant).

I am quite new to stem plants in general, but did some googling and my guesses are:
1) Ludwigia repens x arcuata
2) ludwigia palustris
3) possibly other type of ludwigia

Thank you for any help!

If the above image is not enough, I do have a short video at:

as well.

Basically, I am trying to know the plant so that I can gauge how to take care of it, and also just simply curious of its name!

Not arcuata, AR of some type and all emersed growth.

Thanks! I think you are right, it is not arcuata.

Upon further research, I think it may be Alternanthera sessilis, which is not aquatic...
:frown2:

Bog Scarlet Hygro - Alternanthera sessilis var. 'rubra'

Anyone can confirm the above? If true, I will remove it from my tank ASAP.
