The leaves can be green or red, depending on tank conditions. These plants are very attractive when planted in bunches of 10-12 stems.</p> <p>It is a versatile plant, but to get the desirable bright red color, you must provide high lighting and nutrient levels. High iron content will bring out more red tones in the plant. UNS Plant Food is recommended to allow this plant to truly thrive.  CO2 injection is not required but can help it grow more robustly. The plant can be grown submersed or emersed.</p> <p>Propagation can be achieved by taking cuttings from the main stem of the plant that are replanted into the substrate.</p> <p><b>Notes:</b></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ludwigia can be very fragile.
