❤️ Ludwigia repens – Rich Red Color Made Easy

Ludwigia repens is a classic and beginner-friendly stem plant known for its vibrant red to reddish-green leaves. This beautiful plant adds warmth, depth, and contrast to any aquascape, making it a popular choice for both new hobbyists and experienced aquascapers.

It grows best with medium to high light, and while CO₂ isn’t required, it helps bring out the plant’s richest red tones.
