Ludwigia Triple Red
Ludwigia Triple Red
Ludwigia 'Triple Red’ is prized for staying red through and through — new growth, stems, and undersides all take on an intense brick-to-blood red rather than reverting to green. That saturation demands strong light, CO2, and lean nitrates to hold, but the payoff is one of the most striking reds available to the hobby. A standout centerpiece for the midground or background.
Care level: Moderate-Advanced · Placement: Midground/Background · Lighting: High · CO2: Recommended · Growth rate: Moderate · Propagation: cuttings

When it ships
Most non-quarantined stock goes out the week you order. If we do not already have the animal in-house we source it first — allow up to two weeks for it to reach us. Live animals leave Monday and Tuesday, and Early AM Overnight is the only service that carries a live arrival guarantee.
The live guarantee
Shipped Early AM Overnight: a 1-hour DOA window from confirmed delivery, and nothing beyond it. Next Day Air and 2-Day carry no live arrival guarantee, and neither does USPS Priority. Local pickup or local delivery: 24 hours, if you bring a water sample from your aquarium and we test it before the animal goes home. Maintenance clients: 60 days when we service the aquarium at least twice a month, 28 days on a monthly plan.
