Posted by Max Gandara on on 20th Aug 2025
Ludwigia Mini Super Red is a popular stem plant known for its intense red coloration and compact growth, making it a favorite in aquascaping. Unlike many other Ludwigia varieties, this plant stays smaller and bushier, which makes it especially suitable for midground placement or as a colorful accent in planted aquariums. Its vibrant red leaves stand out beautifully against green plants and hardscape, adding a bold splash of color to any aquascape design.
This plant thrives in medium to high lighting, which helps it develop and maintain its deep red coloration. CO2 injection and regular dosing of nutrients are highly recommended to achieve the most vibrant colors and strong growth. In lower light conditions, the plant may appear more greenish and lose some of its striking intensity.
Ludwigia Mini Super Red is relatively fast-growing and responds well to regular trimming. Frequent pruning encourages branching, creating a denser and fuller look. When planted in groups, it forms a stunning red bush that becomes a focal point in the aquarium.
Easy to grow with proper lighting and nutrients, Ludwigia Mini Super Red is suitable for aquarists with some experience in maintaining planted tanks. Its bright coloration and manageable size make it a versatile choice for adding contrast, depth, and beauty to aquascapes.
