Description
Echinodorus rubin is a large, elegant sword plant whose long, slightly wavy leaves emerge deep red and mature to a reddish-green with striking red veins. A hybrid bred for colour, Echinodorus rubin makes a magnificent centrepiece, its tall leaves rising from a dense rosette to anchor the middle or back of a larger planted aquascape.
Echinodorus rubin is a hardy, rooted plant that grows in moderate light without CO₂, though brighter light and rich feeding intensify its red tones and vigour. Plant Echinodorus rubin in a deep nutrient-rich substrate with generous root tabs, give it room to spread, and simply remove older outer leaves as newer red growth takes over.
Substantial and colourful yet easy, Echinodorus rubin suits beginners wanting a red feature plant and experienced keepers filling a big tank. It is safe for community tanks with its sturdy leaves, so add Echinodorus rubin for a dramatic red-toned centrepiece.
