Ludwigia Red Skeleton is a background stem plant with narrow, skeletal-looking red leaves that add fine texture and color contrast to a planted aquarium. Skill Level Moderate CO2 Not Required, but recommended Requires Aqua Soil Recommended Type Stem Max Height 8-16" Placement Background Light Level Medium to High (approx. 50-100 PAR) Origin Asia Other High iron dosing brings out the deepest red coloration. Care & Planting: Remove from bunch wrap/foam, then plant individual stems into substrate. Propagate by cutting the stem and replanting cuttings. A note on appearance: Many stem plants, including this one, are harvested in their above-water (emersed) form, and the photo may not reflect how it looks once fully adjusted to life underwater. Leaf shape and coloration commonly shift as the plant transitions to submersed growth — don't be surprised if new growth looks different from what arrived in your order. Give it a few weeks to acclimate before judging its final look.
