Ludwigia palustris Super Red is a highly selected cultivar of Ludwigia palustris producing intensely vivid red leaves across both upper and lower surfaces — a significantly more dramatic colouration than the standard red form. Under ideal bright light and CO2 conditions the leaves achieve a clean, saturated red that is among the most striking available in any easy-to-medium care Ludwigia.
It benefits from bright light and CO2 supplementation for the most intense and consistent colouration. Under lower light the red fades toward olive-green and the plant loses much of its visual impact. Iron-rich fertilisation is important for sustaining the red pigmentation on new growth over the long term.
Supplied as an established potted plant, Ludwigia palustris Super Red suits aquariums from 50 litres upward with good lighting and ideally CO2 injection. Used in the midground or background, its vivid red forms a powerful visual contrast against bright green plants placed alongside it.

Customers praised this aquatic plant for its vibrant red color and healthy condition upon arrival. Reviewers said it "grows really well" and "almost doubled in size in one week." Most found it easy to establish with "lots of new growth." Some noted initial green leaves turn red with proper lighting and CO2. A few mentioned slow initial growth or delicate nature with certain fish.
I always buy my plants from aqua essentials. I am a repeat customer and I am never disappointed. I received a lovely plant. It’s settling nicely at the back of my tank.
Ordered off this site many times always reliable and good stock this plant has really took well to my aquarium and is a lovely orange
Plants arrived very well packaged as usual. All very healthy and have settled well into the tank. A lot of new growth but not a lot of colour yet, although I do have quite low tech lighting in my tank. Will keep coming to Aqua Essentials for my plants.
Healthy plant, arrived on time, very well packaed
Healthy plants although not particularly well rooted, still I divided it into a number of parts and planted in the substrate. Plants appear to be doing well and are showing signs of growth.

I love this more than I expected to. It arrived really healthy and hasn’t skipped a beat since I put it in the tank. It’s only been in about a week and it’s giving me new leaves already
Fast delivery great condition growing fast
Fast delivery well happy growing well
fantastic plant I have a low tech tank but this plant grows fast with deep red leaves.Very satisfied.
First time with this plant. Arrived well packed.Planted it same day ... only 5 days into establishing a new tank and I've got good growth, with the new leaves a beautiful shade of read. When this "bushes Up" it will look stunning.
"Super Red" - With the right lighting and CO2 it's living up to it's name :D
Great portion arrived, barely any melt back and the leaves are now growing in redder, great plant!
Very good quality and healthy plant. So many stems in one pot. Lovely colour and quick to establish - already seeing growth after just a week.
The plant was delivered quickly and was securely packaged. This is a delightful little plant that is growing well in my tank.
Bit overpriced for what you get which isnt much. So far its growing a little slow & leaves are only on the top of this plant, could be just temporary but looks strange
Probably a bit delicate for my robust combination of fish. Moved it to a safer place and looking ok at the minute...time will telll
Excellent service, the plant was very clean and healthy and very well packaged and presented with Aqua-essentials. They definitely take care of their customers!
Top quality plant from a top quality supplier.If your thinking of ordering please do..you will not be disappointed
Arrived on time and was a good healthy plant , nice contrast with the green foliage, I kept this mainly as one plant to cover a bare area in my aquarium. A week after planting it has made growth and looks good,.Would use this seller again.
Great value, I had loads of stems from a single pot. Growing well and very quickly turned bright red with my high lighting and CO2 injection.
Excellent condition, planted and growing well although thought it would be a trailing plant from picture but so far just tall stems but lovely all the same
Significantly more vivid. Super Red is a highly selected cultivar producing saturated, consistent red across both leaf surfaces under good light, while the standard form is more olive-red.
CO2 is recommended for the most vivid, consistent red colouration. Without CO2 the red fades considerably and the plant becomes more olive-green in colour.
Bright light is required for the best colouration. Under medium light the red diminishes. Under low light the plant will not colour well.
Bright light, CO2, and regular iron-rich fertilisation are key. Without all three the colouration will fade over time.
It is manageable for hobbyists with medium to bright light and ideally CO2. It is more demanding than the standard palustris forms but easier than Ludwigia glandulosa or inclinata.
