LUDWIGIA REPENS 'RUBIN' – Dark Red Leaf Stem Plant for Stunning Aquarium Contrast
Ludwigia repens 'Rubin' is a striking North American stem plant known for its deep red foliage that provides bold contrast against green aquatic plants. Growing 20–50 cm tall and 4–6 cm wide per stem, it is ideal for midground or background placement in freshwater aquariums, offering both color and structure.
This variety thrives when planted in large groups, which enhances its decorative effect and creates a lush, cohesive appearance.
