Ludwigia Super Red

Ludwigia sp. 'Super Red' is a cultivated variety of the Ludwigia genus, distinguished from common ludwigia by its intense red coloration on both the upper and lower surfaces of the leaves. Under medium to strong lighting, the entire leaf turns vivid crimson, with color and growth further enhanced by CO2 addition. Its popularity as a relatively easy red aquatic plant stems from its ability to show some redness even without CO2 injection. Growth rate is moderate, and shape is easily maintained with weekly trimming. Regular application of iron- and potassium-containing liquid fertilizer sustains more vibrant red color. Widely used as a background-to-midground accent in aquascape compositions, it creates a striking contrast with green plants.
