Ludwigia sp. 'Super red' is actually a varietal of Ludwigia palustris. It is now under many trade names such as Ludwigia 'mini super red' and Ludwigia sp. 'red' and they all refer to the same plant. There isn't a mini version - plants grow under lean conditions and are just smaller in size compared to plants grown in richer nutrient environments. Ludwigia 'super red' has been a popular plant in the hobby as it is easy to grow and is easy to grow to nice redness compared to pickier plants such as Rotala macrandra. The leaves are completely red both the top side and underside. This plant grows in a wide range of conditions; it is not particularly picky about water parameters but does require higher lighting conditions to show good coloration. As a fast grower that is not picky about water parameters, it is a good indicator plant for nutrient levels; which can be provided either at the root zone or water column. It grows tall in time and is best used in the mid-ground or background. It should be trimmed regularly to form a nice canopy - left to its own devices the plant usually grows messily. As the leaves are loosely formed; larger, bushier clumps give a much better visual impact compared to single stems.
