Ludwigia Super Red

Ludwigia ‘Super Red’ is a striking stem plant prized for its intense, vibrant red coloration. Unlike many red plants that require very high light to show color, this variety develops rich ruby tones even in moderate lighting, making it one of the most accessible red plants for planted aquariums. Its narrow leaves grow densely along upright stems, creating bold contrast against green plants and dark hardscape.

This plant is considered easy to moderate in difficulty. It adapts well to a variety of freshwater conditions and is suitable for both beginners and experienced aquascapers. While CO₂ is not strictly required, it significantly improves growth speed, leaf density, and overall color intensity. Regular trimming encourages bushier growth, and cut tops can be replanted to create a fuller, more dramatic red background.

Care Requirements:

• Lighting: Moderate to high (higher light = deeper red coloration)

• CO₂: Not required, but recommended for best color and density

• Temperature: 20–28°C

• pH: 6.0–7.5

• Water Hardness: Soft to moderately hard

• Placement: Midground to background

• Growth Rate: Moderate to fast

Ludwigia ‘Super Red’ is ideal for peaceful community aquariums with tetras, rasboras, livebearers, corydoras, bettas, and gouramis. The vibrant red tones also make schooling fish colors stand out beautifully. It can be used in shrimp tanks, though stronger lighting setups tend to suit it best. Avoid housing with large plant-eating fish.
