Ludwigia sp. 'Super Red' is a stunning stem plant renowned for its intense ruby-red foliage and reliable colouration. Unlike many other red aquarium plants that require very high lighting to develop vibrant colours, this cultivar produces rich red tones even under moderate lighting, making it one of the easiest red plants to grow successfully.
Its upright growth habit and vivid colouring make it an excellent choice for the midground or background of planted aquariums. Planted in groups, Ludwigia sp. 'Super Red' creates a striking contrast against green foliage, adding depth and visual impact to any aquascape. Regular trimming encourages bushier growth and helps maintain a dense, colourful display.

This plant is supplied as a healthy, potted aquarium plant and is ready to be planted directly into your aquarium. For the best results, gently remove the pot and rock wool from the roots before planting individual stems into a nutrient-rich substrate.
For the richest red colouration, provide moderate to high lighting, regular fertilisation, and adequate CO₂ supplementation. Regular trimming encourages compact, bushy growth and helps maintain the plant's vibrant appearance.
Please note: As this is a living plant, the size, number of stems, and colour intensity may vary slightly from the photographs depending on the season, growing conditions, and stage of development.
