Ludwigia Repens
Plants are pest free! Some plants we sell are grown emersed which means out of water when they are stuck in aquariums, they may experience some melting (Leaves Dying) this does not mean they are dead as typically the plants will bounce back.
1 Lead Bunch is around 4-7 stems
Ludwigia Repens is a popular and colorful freshwater aquarium plant known for its attractive red, orange, and green foliage. This fast-growing stem plant is an excellent choice for adding vibrant color and contrast to planted aquariums, community tanks, aquascapes, and Dutch-style aquariums.
Ludwigia Repens is one of the most popular red aquarium plants because it is relatively easy to grow and can adapt to a wide range of aquarium conditions. Under stronger lighting and with adequate nutrients, the leaves can develop more intense red and reddish-orange coloration, creating a beautiful focal point among green aquatic plants.
Vibrant Color for Planted Aquariums
Ludwigia Repens works well as a midground or background aquarium plant, depending on the size of your aquarium and how frequently it is trimmed. Planting several stems together can create a dense, colorful group, while individual stems can be used throughout an aquascape to add contrast and visual depth.
For the best coloration and growth, provide moderate to high lighting along with adequate nutrients. CO₂ supplementation is not strictly required, but it can encourage faster growth, healthier plants, and more vibrant coloration.
Ludwigia Repens is a stem plant that is very easy to propagate. Simply trim healthy stems and replant the cuttings into the aquarium substrate. The cuttings can develop roots and grow into new plants, allowing you to gradually create a larger, fuller group.
