Description
Ludwigia Super Red Mini is a show-stealing stem plant known for its vivid red leaves and smaller size. Unlike many red plants that require tricky conditions, this one delivers striking color even in moderate light. Its dense, compact growth makes it ideal for midground accents or as a pop of red in nano tanks.
With proper care, it forms tight, bushy clusters that add depth and drama—no CO₂ required (but it definitely helps).
Care and Planting Directions
Plant individual stems in nutrient-rich substrate. Provide medium to high lighting to bring out its signature deep red hues. CO₂ and regular fertilization will enhance growth and coloration, but it remains beginner-friendly. Trim and replant tops to maintain shape and propagate.
