is this ludvigia repens?

i was told its ludvigia repens or is it osme similar plant?
Also they kept it floating so each stem is grown at 90% angle after planting them they are bend down at angle if i straighten them they just lean over again.
Will they straigten in time and grow vertical toward light or should i trim at bend and replant top?

the leaf shape and plant look correct for L. repens but the colour is wrong. It should be green on top of the leaf and red/ purple underneath. However, it could be a red colour form, if one exists.

Tnx and what do you think it might straighten or should i just cut it at bend and replant tips? Would like it to straighten before j cut it as i only have ,3 stems so dont wanna stress it need it to survive.

Don't touch it for at least a month after you planted it.

The plants naturally grow up to the light. If you have good light above the tank, the plants will straighten out by themselves.
