Ludwigia Rubin – Bold Red Foliage for Show-Stopping Aquascapes

Ludwigia Rubin is a vibrant stem plant prized for its intensely colored ruby-red leaves and fast growth, making it a top choice for creating high-impact contrasts in planted aquariums. Whether you’re designing a lush nature aquarium or adding bold highlights to a modern aquascape, this versatile aquarium plant brings both beauty and structure to your underwater layout.


Key Features & Benefits:

  • 🔴 Intense Red Leaves: Rich, ruby to deep-red coloration under strong light and proper nutrition.

  • Fast-Growing Stem Plant: Quickly fills background or midground spaces with dense growth.

  • 💧 CO2 Responsive: Color intensifies with CO2 injection and iron-rich fertilization.

  • 🌱 Easy Propagation: Simply trim and replant cuttings to multiply stems and fill space efficiently.

  • 🐠 Freshwater Friendly: Thrives in a wide range of fish tank and aquascape environments.


Enhance Your Aquascape with Color and Contrast

In contrast to green aquatic plants, Ludwigia Rubin delivers dramatic red tones that instantly elevate the visual dynamics of any freshwater aquarium. Its leaves range from olive-green to vibrant crimson, depending on light levels and nutrient availability. For aquarists seeking to break the visual monotony of green plants or to add layers of depth and warmth, Ludwigia Rubin is an exceptional solution.

This plant’s rapid vertical and lateral growth makes it suitable for backgrounds or large midground clusters in medium to large aquariums. Its bold red foliage pairs beautifully with carpeting plants, mosses, and driftwood hardscapes, creating a balanced, natural underwater scene.


Care Guidelines for Optimal Growth

  • Lighting: Moderate to high (essential for red coloration)

  • CO2: Highly recommended for best color and growth rate

  • Fertilization: Iron and micronutrient-rich dosing improves leaf pigmentation

  • Water Conditions: 72–82°F (22–28°C), pH 6.0–7.5, soft to moderately hard water

  • Trimming & Propagation: Cut healthy stems and replant directly into substrate for bushier growth

    Enhance your aquarium with our versatile selection of high-quality aquatic plants, available in three convenient formats:

    • Fresh-Cut Plants: Includes approximately 6+ loose, fresh-cut stems without roots. Perfect for flexible planting arrangements.
    • Fresh-Cut Bunched: Approximately 6+ fresh-cut stems without roots, bundled with foam and a plant weight for easy placement.
    • Fresh-Cut Potted: About 6+ fresh-cut stems without roots, securely potted in a net pot with rockwool, ensuring stability and healthy growth.

    Choose the format that best suits your aquascaping needs and create a vibrant, lush underwater environment with our premium aquatic plants.

            WHAT WE CAN'T GUARANTEE

            Even though our plants are very clean, but we can't guarantee they will be 100% pest-free because we cannot be responsible for your aquarium. Please use it at your own risk. We recommended all customers rinse the plants with clean water and quarantine them before use.

            However, plants in tissue culture will be 100% free from pests, algae and never have been contacting with any aquarium.

            1. Due to the nature of the product. We don't guarantee our plants will be pests free. ( snails, algae, hitchhikers )
            2. We don't guarantee our plants will be free of pesticides. We use homemade, organic pesticides in our greenhouse to control pests. We do not use pesticides that contain copper. Copper is toxic to invertebrates such as aquatic snails, crabs, shrimps, etc
            3. We don't guarantee your aquarium success or are responsible for your aquarium inhabitant including but not limited to fish, shrimp, snail, turtle, etc. So please quarantine all plants when use!

            Decent

            Seemed ok when unboxing. 24 hours later a lot of leaves melted off. Was told I was buying plants grown submerged. Obviously not true.

            First batch of plants & shrimp I ordered from you guys were fabulous which brought me back to purchase more plants & shrimp. The second order has been awful. Someone pulled the orange sakura from the breeding tank which gave me every orange under the sun. Now onto the plants. The plants look great but I HAVE HYDRA! All my standard tanks are infected. You are the only place I have ordered from. All my goby fry are dead. Worst experience ever! I know I should have quarantined but am too trusting. I will NOT ever buy from you again. Anyone reading this review please be careful.
