Ludwigia palustris 'Super Red' (Tropica Pot) Aquatic Plant

$13.99

Ludwigia palustris 'Super Red' is one of the most vibrant and eye-catching stem plants in the aquarium hobby. Native to the Americas, this variety has been selectively cultivated for its intense red coloration. Under strong lighting and with nutrient-rich conditions, its leaves take on deep crimson to burgundy tones, creating a stunning contrast against green plants in the aquascape.

This fast-growing stem plant is versatile—suitable as a striking midground accent or as a bold background grouping. Regular trimming encourages bushy, compact growth and allows for easy propagation from cuttings. Due to its brilliant color and ease of cultivation, 'Super Red' is highly recommended for aquarists who want to introduce a splash of vivid red into their planted tanks.
