Description
Ludwigia Mini Super Red is a compact, richly coloured Ludwigia cultivar producing small, oval leaves in vivid bright red. Its more restrained size compared to larger red Ludwigia varieties makes it practical for the midground of a wider range of aquarium sizes, while delivering intense red colouration that stands out strongly against green neighbouring plants.
It requires bright light and CO2 injection to maintain the vivid red pigmentation and compact internodes it is known for. Under lower light the colouration diminishes and growth becomes more elongated. Iron-rich fertilisation and a nutritious substrate help sustain the deep red tones on actively developing leaves.
Supplied as an established potted plant, Ludwigia Mini Super Red suits aquariums from 50 litres upward with bright lighting and CO2 injection. Its compact size and vivid colour make it one of the most popular red stem plants for midground planting in nature aquarium style layouts.

Does Ludwigia Mini Super Red need CO2?
Yes. CO2 is important for the compact growth and vivid red colouration. Without it the plant tends to grow more loosely and become less red.
What light level does it need?
Bright light is required. Under medium or low light the red colour diminishes significantly and the plant loses its appeal.
How compact does it stay?
Under bright light and CO2 it stays compact with short internodes, making it suited to the midground of aquariums from 50 litres upward.
How do I maintain the reddest colour?
Bright light, CO2 injection, and iron-rich fertiliser together produce the most vivid and sustained red colouration. All three are important.
How do I propagate it?
Trim stems and replant the cuttings in the substrate. They root readily and continue growing. Regular trimming keeps the plant compact and encourages new vivid red growth.
