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.
I’ve purchased this plant twice, and both times it has died despite following all instructions and correct care. None of the other plants I purchased along with it died, they all did great. Pretty frustrating

Pretty and hearty
This plant came in good condition. I love the tops of it with the reddish colors. So far it's been able to withstand my 2 Koi who have a habit of destroying plants especially stem plants. These are very tall and are great as a background. I'm sure they will do better once my Koi go to their new home as they do keep uprooting them.

Acosta review
Plants arrived with all leaves dead and broken off; two of the stems were broken. After being planted in fertilized and root tabbed substrate, after two days all stems completely melted and rotted and had to be removed.

Instant satisfaction!
This plant has, so far, adjusted perfectly in my tank. The plant I was sent was already pretty tall, maybe like 5-6 inches, so that was instantly satisfying to plant. My fish (assorted platies) do love it because they’re always weaving in the leaves. I planted it around a sunken broken pottery tunnel decoration and it is now my favorite corner of my tank! Looking forward to seeing how tall it will get and hope it continues to thrive as the weeks go by! I might even get more of this to plant in other areas because my fish seem to like the smaller leaves on this more than the various swords I have elsewhere.
Updating my review to include a picture I just took - when I first planted these, all of the stalks were shorter than the sunken pot behind it. More than half have grown another 4-5 inches in the last 2.5-3 weeks!
