Ludwigia Repens (Ludwigia repens) is a colorful stem plant known for the green, bronze, and red tones it can develop throughout its leaves. It's an excellent choice for adding warmer color to a planted aquarium without requiring the demanding conditions of many high-end red plants.
Its appearance changes with growing conditions. Under moderate lighting, Ludwigia Repens often develops a mix of green and reddish tones, while stronger lighting and good nutrition can bring out much deeper reds. Regular trimming encourages branching and can turn a few stems into a dense, colorful group.
Care Information
Scientific Name:Ludwigia repens
Plant Type: Stem Plant
Growth Rate: Moderate to Fast
Lighting: Moderate to High
CO₂: Not Required, but Beneficial
Temperature: Approximately 68–82°F
pH: Approximately 6.0–8.0
Difficulty: Easy
Placement: Midground to Background
Propagation: Stem Cuttings
Best For: Planted aquariums, low-tech and high-tech setups, shrimp tanks, and aquascapes needing an easy source of red or bronze coloration.
Ludwigia Repens benefits from consistent nutrients and good lighting, particularly when deeper red coloration is the goal. CO₂ isn't required for healthy growth, but it can improve growth rate, density, and overall appearance.
Once the stems become tall, simply trim them and replant the healthy cuttings. This encourages the original stems to branch while allowing the cuttings to establish as additional plants.
The Reserved Aquatics Standard
Ludwigia Repens is widely available, but we're looking for healthy stems with good leaf growth, strong coloration, and established new growth. We grow and maintain our plants in aquarium conditions so you're starting with something already accustomed to life underwater.
Good plants shouldn't just survive after you bring them home. They should give you a strong place to start.
Quality Worth Keeping.
