Description
Ludwigia sp. ‘Mini Super Red’ is a vibrant, compact aquatic stem plant prized by aquascaping enthusiasts for its intense red and burgundy coloration. It is a smaller variant of the standard Ludwigia ‘Super Red’, making it a more manageable option for nano tanks and smaller aquascapes.
Key features
- Vibrant, intense red leaves: The most notable feature of this plant is its ability to develop a striking deep red color under optimal conditions. The color can vary from olive green to deep red, with more intense lighting encouraging deeper, more brilliant hues.
- Compact size: The “Mini” in its name refers to its smaller stature compared to other Ludwigia varieties. This makes it a great choice for creating a colorful hedge in the midground or background of nano or smaller aquarium setups.
- Fast growth rate: This is a fast-growing stem plant that, with proper care, can quickly expand and fill a section of the tank. Its trimmings can be easily replanted to create a denser, bushier appearance.
- Moderate care requirements: While it is an undemanding and relatively easy-to-grow plant, it does best with medium to high lighting, CO2 injection, and nutrient-rich soil to achieve its signature coloration. It can survive in less-than-ideal conditions, but the color will be less vibrant.
