Ludwigia guinea (Imported)

Its uniquely patterned leaves and brick-red coloration make it very attractive and a real standout among stem plants. A beautiful red stem plant with red veins running through each leaf.  The red coloration becomes more pronounced under high light with the addition of iron and other micro nutrients. This plant is considered rare and not commonly seen in the aquarium trade as very few farms currently grow it.

It is not very difficult to grow but does need a stable environment with a nutrient substrate, high light, and CO2. Ludwigia Senegalensis Guinea is easy to propagate, they will produce multiple side shoots, trim each stem off as desired or let grow for a large red/orange bush.

Ludwigia can be very fragile. Be sure to handle this aquarium plant with care.
