Ludwigia Repens Red Hybrid

udwigia Repens Red Hybrid is a stunning stem plant prized for its intense red coloration and vigorous growth. This hybrid variety develops broader leaves and deeper shades of crimson and burgundy than standard Ludwigia Repens, making it an excellent focal point or colorful background plant in any planted aquarium.

Under medium to high lighting with CO₂ supplementation, the leaves develop their richest red tones and the plant grows in a compact, bushy form. In lower light, it remains healthy but displays more bronze or greenish-red hues. Regular trimming encourages branching, creating a lush, full display that adds depth and contrast to your aquascape.

Easy to grow and adaptable, Ludwigia Repens Red Hybrid is suitable for both beginners looking to add color and experienced aquascapers creating vibrant layouts.
