Ludwigia 'Rubin' is an exceptional choice for aquarists looking to add a splash of intense red colour to their aquariums. It is one of the darkest red plants available in the hobby, and is also one of the easiest red plants to grow in the aquarium. This Ludwigia is believed to be a hybrid and is likely more closely related to Ludwigia glandulosa, rather than Ludwigia repens as was previously thought.

This plant has an upright growth habit and oval, pointed leaves. Under moderate-high lighting, the leaves take on a deep red colouration that contrasts beautifully with green foliage. It is a fast grower and propagates by cuttings or lateral shoots, which makes it a great option for aquascaping.

Ludwigia 'Rubin' grows fastest with good lighting, CO2 supplementation, and nutrient-rich water. It is quite similar to Ludwigia repens in its requirements, and prefers a pH range of 5-7 and temperatures between 6-32°C.

This plant is a great choice for beginners and experienced aquarists alike. Ruby Ludwigia is an easy to grow stem plant, with vibrant wine-red leaves that make it a stand out in any aquarium.
