This striking stem plant is celebrated for its ability to achieve vibrant red coloration more easily than any other species, making it an ideal choice for aquarists looking to add a pop of color. Smaller than the popular Ludwigia repens, it fits perfectly in nano aquariums, where space is limited. The plant readily produces side shoots, and regular cutting not only encourages a denser growth habit but also increases the number of shoots, enhancing its lush appearance.

For optimal growth and brilliant color, this plant thrives in bright light and benefits from CO2 supplementation, though it can maintain its striking red hue even without these conditions. When pruned, the cut-off shoots quickly develop new roots, making propagation straightforward and successful. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned aquarist, this versatile stem plant will elevate your aquatic landscape with its vibrant foliage.
