Epic Aquatics - Ludwigia repens

Ludwigia repens is one of the easiest red plants to grow in the aquarium, being able to grow in even lower light conditions. It also makes an excellent candidate for moderately lit, non-CO2 aquaria. When lit well, the plant will grow at an angle over the substrate instead of straight up. To encourage red coloration, Ludwigia repens should be kept well-lit with no shading and heavy iron dosing will help produce intense colors out of this plant.
