Ludwigia Super Red Mini

Ludwigia Super Red Mini

Ludwigia Super Red Mini is a compact dwarf cultivar of the Ludwigia super red group, producing intensely red small leaves that are more vividly colored than standard Ludwigia repens even under moderate light. The combination of compact size and intense red coloration makes Super Red Mini particularly valuable for aquarists who want vivid red in the midground to foreground — positions where full-sized red Ludwigia would grow too tall.

Care tip: Ludwigia Super Red Mini grows best in low lighting with CO₂ recommended. Maintain temperatures of 68–82°F and pH 6.0–7.5. Regular liquid fertilization supports healthy growth and best coloration.

Growing to 12 to 20 inches — smaller and more manageable than many red stem plants — Super Red Mini is a versatile background to midground plant suitable for tanks of various sizes. CO₂ supplementation is recommended for the most compact growth and most vivid red expression. Under moderate light without CO₂ it maintains reasonable color, making it one of the more accessible intense-red Ludwigia forms.

This easy plant tolerates low-tech setups under low lighting, though CO₂ is recommended for the best results. Temperatures between 68 and 82°F and a pH of 6.0 to 7.5 reflect the broad tolerance of the super red group. Regular iron-rich fertilization maintains the intense red coloration. As a low-tech tolerant cultivar it is accessible to a wider range of aquarium setups than more demanding red stem plants.

In the aquascape, Ludwigia Super Red Mini provides intense, vivid red color in a more compact, manageable form than standard red Ludwigia species. The small leaves and intense color create a fine-textured red midground accent that suits tanks where full-sized red background plants would overwhelm the composition. It is one of the most color-efficient red plants available — maximum intensity in a compact form.

Ludwigia Super Red Mini is a practical and intensely colored compact red plant for aquarists who want vivid red without the full height of background-scale species. Its intense color, compact form, and low-tech tolerance make it one of the most practical small-scale red plants in the planted aquarium hobby.
