Ludwigia peruensis (Ludwigia glandulosa), also known as Ludwigia Glandulosa, is a striking aquatic plant admired for its vibrant red to deep burgundy leaves. Its bold coloration makes it a standout choice for aquascapers looking to create contrast in planted tanks. This slow-growing stem plant thrives in moderate to high lighting, with intense lighting and nutrient supplementation—especially iron—enhancing its rich coloration. CO₂ injection is recommended for optimal growth, though it can survive in low-tech setups with slightly slower development.
