🌿 Ludwigia Palustris Super Red (Ludwigia palustris 'Super Red')
Deep Crimson-Red Leaves • Compact, Bushy Stem Plant • A High-Impact Red Accent
📋 Ludwigia Palustris Super Red is the boldest red Ludwigia you can grow. This selected variety holds a deep, consistent crimson-red colour even under moderate lighting, with stronger, richer tones than standard Ludwigia palustris. It grows upright with dense, compact foliage and responds beautifully to trimming, so it's easy to shape into vibrant red bushes or layered backgrounds that contrast brilliantly with green plants.
It's fast-growing and easy to keep. Give it good light and steady nutrients, with CO2 if you have it, and trim it regularly; replanted tops quickly fill out into a thick, glowing red stand. Pair it with Ludwigia Palustris Green for a striking red-and-green display.
It's a freshwater plant, suited to freshwater aquariums.
