Ludwigia palustris 'Super Red' is a beautiful aquatic plant that adds vibrant colour to any freshwater aquarium. Its leaves are a deep, rich shade of red that contrasts nicely with the greens of other aquatic plants. The leaves are oval in shape and can grow up to 1 inch long. They are arranged on thin, delicate stems that can grow up to 12 inches tall.
This plant is perfect for use as a background plant in a larger aquarium, or as a focal point in a smaller tank. It can also be used in outdoor water gardens or ponds. It prefers a moderate to high light level and can thrive in a variety of water conditions, including hard or soft water. However, for optimal growth, it should be provided with a rich, nutrient-dense substrate and regular fertilization.
Ludwigia palustris 'Super Red' is easy to care for, and is a great choice for both novice and experienced aquarists. It is relatively hardy and can tolerate a wide range of water temperatures and pH levels. It can be propagated by cutting the stem and planting the cuttings in a nutrient-rich substrate.
One of the main benefits of having this plant in your aquarium is it can provide shelter for fish and other aquatic animals, as well as help to improve water quality by removing excess nutrients from the water. It also helps to oxygenate the water and provide natural filtration.
In conclusion, Ludwigia palustris 'Super Red' is a beautiful and hardy plant that will add vibrant colour to any freshwater aquarium. It's easy to care for and tolerant of a wide range of water conditions, making it a great choice for both novice and experienced aquarists. It is also great for providing shelter and promoting a healthy environment for aquatic life, as well as improving water quality. This is why many aquarists choose this plant for their tank and it can help to improve the overall aesthetic of the aquarium.
Here's a few tips about this plant that are worth mentioning.
1. Lots of colour
Red plants are popular in the hobby because they break up the sea of green that we see so much of. Use red plants in groups to create focal points and consider positioning them around wood or rock for a stylish look.
2. Red plants need more light
Red plants get their colour from light intensity. The reason they arrive with lovely colours is because they're grown in greenhouses that have access to lots of natural light. This means they grow fast, and colourful. If you don't have lots of light (and these plants really like pink light), colour can be less along with speed of growth.
3. Don't forget to trim
Most red plants are stems and this means they generally grow quite fast. It's important to trim stem plants regularly and don't be concerned when trimming 50% each time. This allows the plant to retain their colours and stay bushy. If you let them grow too big, they'll drop their lower leaves and concentrate on their top section (resembling a forest canopy) which you don't want.
