Ludwigia Super Red is one of the most sought after red aquarium plants available. Native to South America, this striking stem plant displays rich red to burgundy hues when grown in optimal conditions. It is commonly used in aquascaping to create contrast, focal points, and colorful backdrops in freshwater planted tanks.
This plant thrives in medium to high lighting and benefits from CO2 injection and a consistent nutrient supply, especially iron and micronutrients. While it can grow in low tech setups, color intensity is significantly improved in high light environments with stable water parameters. Ludwigia Super Red grows vertically and should be trimmed regularly to encourage bushy, compact growth.
Ideal for aquascapers of all skill levels, this plant is easy to propagate through stem cuttings and quickly fills in when maintained properly. It is perfect for nature style aquariums, Dutch style tanks, and colorful community aquariums.
