Add a brilliant pop of red and green to your aquarium with Ludwigia Repens, also known as Creeping Primrose Willow. This classic, fast-growing stem plant is loved for its beautiful color contrast—featuring olive-green leaf tops with striking red-to-purple undersides. Because it is highly adaptable and grows quickly, it is one of the easiest red plants for beginners to keep. It quickly forms a dense, colorful background forest that provides excellent hiding spots for fish and shrimp while helping to keep your tank water clean by absorbing excess nutrients. Please note: Product images are AI-generated and will vary from the actual plant received.
Key benefits:
Vibrant Dual-Tone Color: Features beautiful olive-green topsides with eye-catching reddish-purple leaf undersides, introducing instant color depth to your layout.
Perfect for Beginners: One of the hardiest and most forgiving red stem plants available, thriving in a wide variety of tank conditions.
Fast-Growing Water Cleaner: Rapidly absorbs nitrates and phosphates from the water column, acting as a natural defense against algae.
Specifications:
Form: Bunched
Growth Rate: Fast
Placement: Midground to Background
Light Requirement: Medium (Higher light brings out deeper red coloration)
Co2 Requirement: Low (Not required, but speeds up growth and intensifies color)
Water type: Freshwater
Suggested use: Remove the lead weight or band from the bunch. Gently separate the individual stems. Strip the leaves from the bottom inch of each stem, then plant them directly into your substrate, spacing them slightly apart so light can reach the bottom leaves. Trim the tops regularly to encourage bushy side shoots and replant the cuttings to easily propagate your stock.
What’s included: 1 x Bunched portion of Ludwigia Repens
