Where standard Ludwigia repens shows green on top and red beneath, Red Rubin delivers a rich, saturated crimson throughout — making it one of the most visually impactful red stem plants available for the planted aquarium. An outstanding choice for aquascapers looking to create bold colour contrast and a dramatic focal point in any layout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePortion Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 stem cutting (approx. 10–15 cm).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan role=\"text\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntense, uniform deep red colouration across the entire leaf — top and underside\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMore vivid and consistent colour than standard Ludwigia repens under equivalent conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast-growing stem plant — easy to trim and propagate by replanting cuttings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighly adaptable to a wide range of water parameters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreates a dramatic colour contrast against green foreground and midground plants\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSafe for shrimp, fish, and all other aquarium inhabitants\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan role=\"text\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare Requirements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate to High\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCO₂:\u003c\/strong\u003e Recommended\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18–28°C\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003epH:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.0–7.5\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fast\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDifficulty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Easy to Moderate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan role=\"text\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAquascaping Applications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLudwigia repens 'Red Rubin' is best used as a midground to background stem plant in Nature Aquarium, Dutch, and high-contrast aquascape layouts. Plant in groups of 3–5 stems for maximum visual impact, and allow it to grow toward the surface before trimming and replanting the tops to build a dense, richly coloured column. Its deep crimson tones create a striking counterpoint to bright green carpets such as HC Cuba, Monte Carlo, or Eleocharis, and pair beautifully with natural hardscape materials like Seiryu stone and driftwood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePro Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo maintain the deepest red colouration, provide high light, CO₂ injection, and regular dosing with an iron-rich liquid fertiliser. Red Rubin holds its colour better than standard Ludwigia repens under moderate light, but will revert toward green if light levels drop too low. Regular trimming encourages compact, bushy growth and prevents the lower stems from becoming leggy and bare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs a living plant, Ludwigia repens 'Red Rubin' requires separate handling and shipping considerations.
