LUDWIGIA PALUSTRIS 'SUPER RED' – Intense Red Stem Plant for the Aquarium Midground and Background
Ludwigia palustris 'Super Red' is a cosmopolitan stem plant known for its vivid red coloration and compact growth. More intensely red and denser than Ludwigia repens ‘Rubin’, it reaches a height of 10–30 cm and each stem spreads 2–4 cm wide. Perfect for midground and background placement, it provides striking contrast and depth to planted aquariums.
Strong lighting and a consistent supply of CO₂ are essential to maintain its vibrant red tones. This species produces many lateral shoots and responds well to trimming, promoting bushy and dense growth. Trimmed tops root quickly when replanted, making propagation easy. Grown in sterile in-vitro culture, Ludwigia palustris 'Super Red' is completely free of snails, algae and parasites, and is safe for shrimp tanks.
