🌺 Ludwigia Rubin (Red Diamond) | Vibrant Red Aquarium Stem Plant

Add an explosion of intense burgundy color to your aquascape with Ludwigia Rubin (also known as Ludwigia repens 'Rubin' or Red Diamond). Unlike other demanding red stem plants, Ludwigia Rubin is remarkably hardy, making it the perfect choice for both beginners and experienced aquascapers who want deep, wine-red foliage without the high-maintenance hassle.

Featuring broad, spade-shaped leaves that develop a striking, solid ruby-red coloration on both the tops and bottoms, this plant provides an incredible visual contrast against green background plants and dark substrates.

It is crucial to provide accurate and complete shipping information to ensure the successful delivery of your order and the applicability of the Live Arrival Guarantee.

Please keep in mind that Live Arrival Guarantee only guarantees that live stocks will be alive upon arrival. We cannot guarantee that you will continue to have success with them. Many factors, including the aquarium environment, water quality, nutrient, temperature, lighting, filter, and CO2 system, can contribute to the failure to grow live plants and live animals.

 

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!
  4. Unless specific, we don't guarantee aquatic plants will be grow emerged or submerge.

Please review your state's regulations on restricted plants, as we are committed to not shipping plants that are restricted in your area. Do not release any plants into the wild or waterways, as this can harm local ecosystems by introducing invasive species.

Already Looking Great!

My stems arrived well packaged, a nice bunch of about six. I separated them into two clumps and buried them fairly deep into the gravel to make sure they didn't come loose. The colors were great when I got them, but they're already looking much more vibrant and happy about a week later, and several of the stems are dropping little runners towards the gravel. Very happy with my purchase!!

Ludwigia repens

Came looking healthy but with no roots...looks like they were cut off. I split them into three small groups to fill in the back side of my tank. Hopefully the roots grow back and take root and it grows into a big healthy plant in the next few months.

Ludwigia Rubin

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.
