One of the most popular aquarium plants for serious hobbyists is the Super Red Ludwigia. They might be a smaller species than most Ludwigias, but they make it up for it through their striking red colour, which is ideal for middle or background aquascape.
 
 
This cosmopolitan stem plant turns red easier and is smaller than the well-known Ludwigia repens ’Rubin’. 
Each stalk becomes 2-4 cm wide and 10-30 cm high. The plant willingly creates side shoots, but cutting increases the amount and the plant becomes even denser. The cut-off shoots quickly generate new roots when planted. 
 
An easy red plant which grows well without additional CO2 injection.
The plant becomes intensely red and grows better, when placed in light and with added CO2.
