Care Tips: Echinodorus Red Rubin is a striking aquarium plant with long, narrow leaves that vary in color from deep red to olive green, depending on lighting and nutrient levels. It thrives in medium to high light and benefits greatly from a nutrient-rich substrate. Iron-rich fertilizers help intensify its red tones. While CO₂ injection is not required, it enhances growth and coloration significantly. Red Rubin grows moderately fast and can reach a substantial size, making it ideal for background placement in larger aquariums. Prune older or larger leaves to maintain shape and allow light to reach lower parts of the plant. It prefers stable, slightly acidic to neutral water (pH 6.0–7.5) and consistent care. Its bold colors and tall, elegant form make it a favorite for adding visual impact to planted tanks.
