Care Tips: Echinodorus Red Rubin Hybrid is a vibrant and bold background plant known for its long, sword-like leaves that range in color from deep red to bronze and green, depending on light and nutrient levels. This hybrid thrives in medium to high lighting conditions, which are essential to maintain its red hues. A nutrient-rich substrate, along with regular fertilization (especially iron), promotes lush growth and coloration. CO₂ supplementation is recommended to enhance its overall health and intensity of color. Due to its size and bold foliage, it works best as a background feature in larger aquariums. It grows moderately fast and requires periodic pruning to prevent overcrowding. This plant is hardy and adaptable, preferring slightly acidic to neutral water conditions (pH 6.0–7.5). Echinodorus Red Rubin Hybrid adds a dramatic and colorful focal point to planted aquariums.
