Ludwigia Big Leaf Dark
This is a FIRE LUDWIGIA right now. It is showing BEAUTIFUL UNDERWATER GROWTH. Get yourself some now!
I have to give my girl Falon some credit here. She has taken a liking to Ludwigias. We are always trying out all kinds of different plants. Some work – some don’t. Well, she grabbed the above water grown stems of these great plants and basically hid them.
Fast forward a few weeks and HOLY COW – We have a nice big, robust, UNDERWATER GROWN Ludwigia Big Leaf Dark! These are acting just like the classic but seem to have the “Big Gene”. They are wow.
While these are a popping RED. If you run this plant under super low light, my guess is that it would revert back to more of a green color.
You could float these big boys if you wanted, but I would plant them in the back of the tank.

The Ludwigia Big Leaf Dark grew quickly and turned a vibrant red. I planted it in the back of my tank and it looks stunning. It’s more robust than the regular variety and thrives in underwater conditions.
Warren Mills –
I was skeptical at first, but after a few weeks, the plant developed large, healthy leaves. It’s definitely a strong grower and adds great color to the tank.
Rachel Ball –
The red color is striking and the plant has grown very well in my aquarium. I didn’t expect it to grow so large, but it’s now a centerpiece in the back.
