Bunch Ludwigia Repens Dark Red

A stunning addition to your aquarium!

Ludwigia Repens 'Dark Red' is a vibrant ruddy- green in it's submerged state. You can see that difference in submerged and immersed states in the photos above. Mine will get to you in their immersed states, as that's the only way to have it shipped to you alive and in a decent state. You'll notice some leaf melt over the next few days/ weeks once it's in your tank, but immediate underwater growth! Lil plant just needs some time to transition.

L. Repens is considered a higher- maintenance plant, so this bunch would be best as a centerpiece in a nano aquarium, close to your light source. As it needs higher lighting and fertilizers, be sure to carefully monitor your tank water parameters so you don't wind up with algae issues!

If you have a regular ol' aquarium without high intensity lighting, at least be sure you have no floaters to block the direct light beam. I have grown this in my own super low tech aquarium. It doesn't absolutely need Co2 and all that mess, but it will really make the red pop!

A bunch is 4-6 collected stems, branching and rooting may vary. (4-8" tall)

EMERGENT-GROWN for best shipping quality!

Growing requirements:

• 65-80 Degrees Fahrenheit
• Ph 6-8
• High light intensity.
• Medium growth speed
• Gets leggier and greener with lower light, vibrant red with higher light 
• Co2 recommended for best color.

As I like to keep real ecosystems in my aquariums, there’s always a chance of harmless hitchhikers like snails or dwarf shrimp tagging along with your plants!

I personally keep several beneficial snail species in my tanks, including Colorful Ramshorns, Bronze Bladder and Pond Snails, Mini Rams, and Malaysian Trumpet Snails. These snails stay relatively small, help clean the aquarium, and do not eat healthy plants or cause harm. However, if you’d rather avoid any hitchhikers, I highly recommend checking out our blog on how to safely disinfect aquarium plants before adding them to your tank:

All plants are freshly snipped or harvested and packed right before shipment. I take great care in preparing every order and use methods that have consistently produced the best results over many years in the hobby. A lot of love goes into every package, so please don’t leave your plants sitting in a hot mailbox for too long 🙏

Thank you for looking, aqua friends! 💚
