Ludwegia species ‘Super Red’

Description

Ludwigia mullertii live plant from TaraPet is a versatile and hardy stem plant that adds warm colour tones to freshwater aquariums. This hybrid species produces attractive rounded leaves that display olive green on top and rich reddish-purple undersides. Ludwigia mullertii is an excellent choice for hobbyists seeking a colourful yet easy-to-grow stem plant for their planted tank.

This popular aquarium plant combines visual appeal with forgiving care requirements, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced aquascapers. The dual-toned foliage creates an attractive effect as the leaves gently sway in the water current, revealing their colourful undersides throughout the day.

Features of Ludwigia Mullertii

Ludwigia mullertii live plant is characterised by its broad, oval-shaped leaves that grow in opposite pairs along sturdy stems. The top surface of each leaf ranges from olive green to bronze, while the underside displays a striking reddish-purple hue. This two-tone effect gives the plant a distinctive and attractive appearance in the aquarium.

The plant grows at a moderate rate and reaches a medium height, making it suitable for mid-ground to background placement. It readily produces side shoots when trimmed, allowing aquascapers to create dense, bushy groupings that fill space beautifully in any layout.

Care and Maintenance

This species is notably adaptable and thrives under moderate lighting conditions without requiring CO2 injection. While supplemental CO2 and strong light will enhance the red colouration, the plant grows well in simpler setups too. Regular liquid fertiliser dosing supports healthy growth and maintains the vibrant leaf colours.

Propagation is straightforward through stem cuttings. Simply trim the top portion and replant it in the substrate where it will quickly develop new roots. The remaining base stem will produce new side shoots, effectively doubling your planting material with each trim cycle.

Aquascaping with Ludwigia Mullertii

Ludwigia mullertii works beautifully as a mid-ground accent plant in community aquascapes. Its warm colour tones provide a natural contrast against bright green species like Rotala Green or Hygrophila. Plant in groups of six to ten stems for the most attractive visual effect in the layout.

This versatile species adapts well to various aquascaping styles. In nature-style tanks, it adds a touch of natural colour variation. In Dutch-style layouts, its consistent growth habit makes it reliable for creating structured colour streets and defined plant groupings.
