Rare variant with creamy-white to white-green leaf tips. Without sufficient light (100+ µmol PAR) and stable CO₂ the plant reverts to its green base form. Sensitive to parameter changes. Heavy root feeder — rich soil is essential.

Beautiful orange-red whorled leaves (11 per whorl). From the Meta river in central Colombia. Visually identical to Ludwigia Pantanal but significantly easier to keep — CO₂ threshold 10+ ppm vs 30+ for Pantanal. Fast-growing — trim every 2-3 weeks.

Deep red whorled leaves similar to Meta but with slightly different leaf texture and brighter red colour. Less demanding than Pantanal. CO₂ recommended for best colour but more tolerant than Pantanal.

Special variant with rolled/spiral leaves in whorled arrangement. Leaves twist spirally around the stem — a unique growth profile that makes the plant recognisable. Equivalent requirements to other L. inclinata variants.

Pink-red whorled variant of L. inclinata. Fast-growing — several centimetres per day under good conditions. Requires truly soft water (KH <3°), high CO₂ (30+ ppm) and excellent nutrition. Irregular growth makes shaping difficult. Meta variant is more accessible alternative.

Most common red Ludwigia in the hobby. Red-brown under normal light, deep intense red under high light. Beginner-friendly but shows best colour only under high light and CO₂. Mini Super Red dwarf variant available for nano aquariums.

Darkest red of all Ludwigia species — almost wine red to purple. Elliptical dense leaves close to the stem. Requires intense light and CO₂ for dark colour. Compact growth profile. Dramatic contrast with yellow or orange neighbours.

Unique red colour with finely patterned leaves. Exotic West African origin. Similar requirements to other red Ludwigias but slightly more tolerant. Beautiful leaf texture that lends itself well to Dutch style.

Rare Ludwigia variant with slender stems and striking red colour. Alata species with wing-shaped ridges along stems. Similar requirements to other red Ludwigias.

Lanceolate leaves with red-brown colour. Less common than repens but with a characteristically distinctive appearance. Suitable as midground accent in Dutch style.

Floating Ludwigia with striking checkerboard pattern of green and red diamond-shaped leaves. Grows at the water surface. Exceptionally decorative as a surface variant. Requires open water surface without strong current.

Compact mini variant with small rounded fruits (sphaerus = spherical). Reddish leaves under high light. Suitable for nano aquariums thanks to compact size.

Unique yellow-orange colour with striking light-yellow leaf veins that remain clearly visible even when submerged. Easiest Ludwigia in the hobby — grows even without CO₂. No other Ludwigia offers such low requirements combined with such a distinctive colour.

Most rare foreground plant in the hobby. Chinese trade name 吐血 ("blood vomit"). Two-tone leaf: bright green with deep ruby-red base — unique in the aquarium world. Not an Eriocaulon but Centrolepidaceae. Grows in rosettes, does not spread via runners. Roots longer than leaves — deep substrate required.
