Ludwigia sp. 'Mini Super Red'

The Ludwigia Mini Super Red is a beautiful stem plant from the family Onagraceae, native to North America. Its leaves are small, rounded to slightly oval in shape, with a smooth texture and rich red to burgundy coloration when provided with sufficient lighting. It is loved by aquascaping hobbyists for its deep red tones and compact growth pattern. Reaching a height of 10–20 cm, this aquatic plant is best placed in the midground or background of a freshwater planted aquarium, where its vibrant colors can create striking contrast.
