Ludwigia Red is a lovely stem plant that can grow both green and red oblong-shaped leaves. In high lighting, the leaves at the top of the plant start growing pinkish-red to deep red, creating a unique ombre effect. Give it plenty of light and liquid fertilizer for faster growth and vibrant coloration.
Easy Red Plant
This beautiful stem plant turns deep scarlet the closer it grows to bright lighting, causing a lovely red-to-green ombre effect. Use medium to high light and Easy Green liquid fertilizer to bring out the best colors.
Plant Transition
Most aquatic plants are grown out of water at the farms. At our warehouse, we start the plant's transition so they can begin growing underwater leaves for you. As you can see, the small, round leaves are grown out of water while the longer, slender leaves are grown under water. This is a normal process, and it's your choice cut off the fading, older leaves or leave them.
We Include Heat Packs and Liners Free of Charge
We have a custom-developed algorithm to include heat packs and insulating plant liners as needed, based on the weather forecast from our warehouse to your shipping address. This helps keep plants at stable temperatures, both in hot and cold weather. Other vendors typically charge you at checkout for a heat pack. We include them when needed free of charge because it's our job to deliver our plants to your door healthy.
Even though there was an unforeseeable shipping delay, causing it to take seven total days (usually I get my product in 2-3 days), my large order of plants arrived healthy as could be. As the weather was below 28°F, I was very concerned they would be DOA. The customer service team responded quickly, effectively, and reassuringly to my multiple emails of panic when I realized there was a freeze coming later in the week right after I placed my order.

Great plants - winter shipping everything great!
I ordered Ludwigia Repens 'Red' along with 4 other plants. All came in healthy. The pot the Ludwigia came in had 5 individual plants i separated and planted. I ordered between the holidays. They were shipped right before the new years which caused delays. Even with added shipping days they came in perfect. No need to worry about winter shipping. I'm from northern Wisconsin and we had singe digits most nights.

Delivery delayed and arrived dead
The plant arrived with no leaves attached (all shed onto the bag it was in) and dead. Tried acclimating the stems in my aquarium for a few days but everything was mush. It was left at a warehouse for several days longer than expected in sub zero new England temperatures. Aquarium co op probably should have waited to ship out till after the holiday rush like most other companies but it's the only time I have had an issue so it's not the norm. It's also not likely their fault either. I will continue to order from them, just be more mindful of when I place an order.

WOW!!!!
First order from Aquarium Co-op and I am so very happy!
My plants arrived in 48hrs! Packaging was phenomenal and the plants were in amazing condition! I think it's very nice of them to include the extra packaging and heat pk, you don't have to pay for it.
I for sure got my moneys worth and will be back for more!
Thank you so much!

Tall Healthy plants
Plants arrived healthy. I floated them for a day or so to get them acclimated to my tank before planting. They seem to be doing okay so far.

No growth, didn't thrive or survive!
The plant looked wimpy when I got, but I thought with fresh water and a tank that was going strong with other plants and fertilizer, that it would eventually grow and do well. Wish I had taken a picture, but my fault I didn't. It never grew, and melted into nothing. I won't get this one again.

Good looking verticality for my 55 Gallon and 29 Gallon tanks.
In the first few weeks I have enjoyed the look of the plant. I have low to medium lighting and that will be the real test over time. But, as received, I really like the plant.
